Program Overview

Join Vive Peru as we facilitate an English Teaching program. You will volunteer at public schools in Northern Peru, working alongside local staff and teachers. While your role is to provide primary and secondary students enrichment English classes, you will also assist with the pronunciation and fluency of local teachers.

You are not required to have teaching experience, but it will greatly help if you do enjoy a more enriching time in Peru. Your responsibilities include working with partner schools in the mornings and participating in evaluation and planning sessions in the afternoons with our staff. With a group of local mothers, you will develop creativity workshops for children from disadvantaged communities.

We do not require fluent communication skills in Spanish, but we recommend it to enhance your interactions with local teachers, staff, and students.

My summer with Vive Peru was the best of my life

Everything about this program allowed for an immersive experience in Peru, while also supporting me with the information an resources necessary for a worthwhile volunteer experience. From safety, to weekend trips, pretty much every aspect of this experience was well thought-out and executed. With the teaching english program specifically, I was able to both assist with professors at a local university (Universidad Cesar Vallejo) and lead my own English Conversation class at El Cultural. Overall, I was able to grow as an English teacher while gaining a worthwhile immersive experience in Peru.

Amazing time!

This program was so wonderful! I was able to help teach English at three different schools while I was here, help the community, and really become immersed into the Peruvian lifestyle. I made life time friendships with everyone here and was able to create amazing memories. The program makes sure we are well taken care of and ensures our safety and happiness, they are always willing to go above and beyond for us.

¡Te amo Peru!

I loved everything about this program. The people, the staff, and the program were exactly what I had hoped for in not only teaching English abroad, but also in immersing myself in Peruvian culture. They are super supportive in every aspect of the program, I highly recommend volunteering with them.
