Volunteer Programs in Bogota
In its urban environment, the most common volunteer placements in Bogota are in the areas of education, social work, and health. As well as helping communities in need, volunteering in Bogota is a great way to get real-world experience in your chosen field.
As an English teacher, you can find volunteer placements working in public schools, or in families. No problema if you don’t have teaching experience: the volunteer’s job is usually to improve conversational English skills, so as long as you can hold a conversation you can do this. Health placements are best suited to individuals who either already have a background in medicine, or are studying for a career in healthcare. In the community development sector, there are lots of opportunities for volunteers who want to work with children, with women, and with youth.
Volunteer projects in Bogota range in length from two weeks to three months. Because they are almost all people-focused, it is recommended that you stay with your project for at least one month. This will let you connect more with the people you work with, help give stability to the project, and allow you to get more out of the experience. Speaking at least basic Spanish is also helpful, but not usually not a requirement. Making a little effort goes a long way though, so you should at least attempt a few phrases - it will be worth it for all the smiles you will get in return.
