Antigua Guatemala and surroundings have many opportunities to work as volunteer. This activity can be combined with your language studies and can be chosen according to your schedule, interests, skills and budget.

As locals we will help you to find the program that fits your interests and we will support with the registration process.  The following list includes paid and free volunteer programs. Our school is not associated with these charges.

Why our school is not helping directly?

Let's be honest: our bussines is the Spanish as Second Language. Everyone knows that people running spanish schools and NGOs uses the donations in benefit of the school or for themselves. An honored NGO must be non-profit oriented.

We never, never will request money or any kind of donations. If you like to help people, please look for real Good Samaritans.
