Volunteer Program
Include
Volunteering as Part of Your Experience
Why
volunteer? Our
program allows you to choose a volunteer experience to augment your
immersion experience. By participating as a volunteer you increase your
exposure and usage of the language, get additional job experience, and
meet new friends, while, at the same time, contributing to the community
and those in need. Volunteering
is extremely rewarding and most people choose to volunteer for a number
of reasons. Some people may volunteer to get some experience in the
field they want to work in whilst others may volunteer to stop them from
being bored or to meet new people. Whatever your reason for volunteering
the benefits are never ending! Employers look kindly upon volunteers
because it shows you are committed and trustworthy. Many
people who decide to become volunteers are motivated by a desire to do
something for their community and help others in need.
What
you will receive from the program? Volunteering
is a great and easy way to meet people, practice your Spanish and
experience many of the different aspects of the culture in Mexico.
The volunteer program is open to any Linguas Spanish
Immersion student at no additional cost. You
can choose to volunteer from 4 – 20 hours per week depending on how
much time you want to spend. Our volunteer
programs are very flexible and we can schedule classes around the
volunteer program and vice-versa. Just let us know how much time you
want to volunteer, any preferences that you may have, and how much time
you would like to study at Linguas. We will arrange the rest for you. Options? We have partnered with various organizations in and around Guadalajara that offer volunteer programs such as assisting the elderly, working with children, helping the underprivileged, and more. Our most popular is a local orphanage. Here the volunteers get to interact with the children, play games, work with the other volunteers, and most of all, have a great time spreading smiles. We have also arranged special volunteer programs for those students in the medical field. Finally,
by volunteering – Mexico will be a better place for you being here. “If
you want to change the world, be that change.” Ghandi Winston Churchill |
