Spanish + Volunteer program
Latin America

If you have always wanted to do something for those less well off than you without expecting anything in return, now you have the chance to do so by becoming a volunteer in a Spanish-speaking country.

don Quijote will find you unpaid work in various social institutions. There is only one requirement: that you have an adequate level of Spanish for community service. To ensure this, and to help you adapt to this new situation, it is essential that you have followed a Spanish course with us for at least 4 weeks. Throughout your period of voluntary work, don Quijote will be on hand to ensure you have support and guidance and so you can tell us how things are working out.

You will live with a family during the course. As soon as you start your voluntary work you can choose to stay with your host family or move to another accommodation, not necessarily managed by don Quijote.

As a sign of our commitment, don Quijote donates directly to the charitable organization when you take part in this program
