Course description

STUDENT PROFILE
Our Volunteer Programs are aimed at students seeking to learn Spanish in the framework of an experience with social impact. They have a minimum level of B1, and the majority have either already completed one of our intensive Spanish courses or are signed up to take one during their volunteer program.

They are interested in issues such as cultural heritage, ecology, fair trade, and sustainability, and want to participate in activities together with the local community of their destination. This experience will give them the opportunity to use their Spanish to communicate in everyday situations.

BENEFITS OF THE SPANISH VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
Our Volunteer Programs give you a global perspective on the various environmental, political, and social issues facing Latin America. This program is offered in combination with our Intensive Spanish courses.

Contribute to environmental and ecological conservation by participating in toucan recovery programs or volunteering with pets in an animal shelter, work together with indigenous communities, or get involved in education and medical care for people young and old, all while continuing to practice Spanish with native speakers.

In case there is only one student in the Intensive Spanish classes, there will be a 50% reduction in class hours.

"Fue una experiencia increíble..."

Marcos Mariano Sinate, student from Mozambique

It was an incredible experience. It was more than I expected. I really improved my language and communication skills. Cultural aspects were also rewarding. The teachers showed passion about their job and to meat new people to share knowledge and experiences. The school is located in one of the most beautiful places of the City of Buenos Aires with gardens, monuments and close to the bus stops and metro stations that can take you to the most touristic places in the city. It was just wonderfully wonderful...

"Excelent !! Great teachers"

Amanda Casas Conde, student from Brazil

The location of Coined Buenos Aires is in one of the best neighborhoods in the city. It's really beaultiful and in front of San Mantin Square.

When I arrived, they were all really nice to me and I did the test to decide in which level I'm in Spanish. At the same they I started the Spanish classes. It was really great, because after the first class It happened a Welcome Lunch and after that we went around the city to do tourism. All over the week the school have a schedule for the new students .

The classes and teachers were really good and the teachers with a great know how about gramatic in Spanish, but also in another languages .

I'm certainly will take more classes in coined if I have the opportunity
