Volunteer Programs in Chiclayo, Peru

Peru is an incredible country; it’s filled with history, traditions, art, culture, geography, scenery, and more. Unfortunately, Peru’s educational system is not up to those same standards, thus students are not truly given a real opportunity to become proficient in English. Luckily, you have the chance to change this. In this program, you will be able to teach Peruvian students basic English such as reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar. Volunteers’ responsibilities may include creating fun lesson plans, preparing materials for class, assisting students with chapters in books and observing other volunteers or teachers.

The National Registration Center for Study Abroad offers a Spanish language study and construction volunteering program in Peru. Volunteers spend 2 weeks (or longer) in group Spanish classes to learn the four basic language skills: oral and written comprehension, grammar, and listening. English will not be used during the classes that run for about 55 minutes per day and 20 hours per week. Students may enroll in as many weeks as desired. When they have a firmer grasp of Spanish, participants will join Un Techo Para mi Pais, an organization run by university students and operated by volunteers who build and reconstruct low-income housing.
