Isabelle, Community development, Salta:

Mundo Espanol offers you the possibility to combine Spanish classes with a volunteer position in Argentina. This is a unique opportunity to experience another culture while making a real difference in other people's lives. Many social institutions and Non-Governmental Organizations will be more than happy to receive your support for a few days, a few weeks or a few months.

During the volunteer part of your program, you will be placed in a position related to your abilities or to your field of study. Thanks to the numerous contacts we have among international associations, we will provide you with a position in which you will be able to receive as much as you give, and to put into practice your language skills.

We have carefully designed 4 different volunteer programs in order to best adapt to your specific needs. Whether you'd rather volunteer only or combine your volunteer work with language classes or university study, our different programs will definitely give you the chance to live a meaningful experience while developing your ability to speak Spanish fluently.

That's what we call 'Learning by Living'!
