    About the program

    We believe that quality education is not only about imparting knowledge, but also about cultivating social responsibility and a sense of personal fulfilment among those with whom we share.

    As part of our activities, we offer school support to students to strengthen their learning and academic development. In addition, we provide our volunteers with the opportunity to develop and lead educational workshops, making a significant contribution to the educational community. 

    Together, we work to create an environment where education is a catalyst for personal and social growth, where active participation and learning values such as solidarity are fundamental to our focus on community development and educational improvement.


    Activities (these may vary according to the needs of the schools) 

    • Supporting pupils during school hours in public schools.
    • Design and develop complementary educational activities for children in educational spaces.
    • Offering assistance during classes in English, mathematics, Spanish, geography, painting, among others.
    • Organisation of workshops, for example on recycling, emotions, environmental conservation, among others.

    Typical day

    Monday to Friday hours for the project

    7:00 to 12:00 noon / 12:20 to 5:20 p.m. This is the time when the volunteer is in a public school in the community. Some are assigned to classrooms and others to the special support classroom.

    Free initiative

    This is a space where the volunteer can propose and carry out workshops and activities that they are good at sharing with the children.

    Depending on the number of volunteers we will divide into groups. We want the workshops, activities and school support to be a way of learning, sharing, having fun and getting out of the routine. It is therefore important that every volunteer who is part of the project brings a PROPOSAL FOR AN ACTIVITY OR WORKSHOP.

    This proposal can be related to your profession, your talents, hobbit or with themes such as sewing, art, yoga, gardening, recycling, self-knowledge and early stimulation.

    Regarding the workshops or activity that you propose in the form that we send to the volunteer, this must indicate: 

    • A proposal for the workshop or activity.
    • The age group it is aimed at.
    • Materials, as it will be you who will lead the activity.
