Volunteer InformationIn all cases we ask you to take a minimum of three weeks of regular Spanish classes at Academia Uruguay. The price is USD 200 per week plus a registration fee of USD 50 that includes all the study materials, exam at the end of each level, certificate, two after school activities and one language workshop per week, internet access, wifi connection, tea, coffee, etc. Our program is for all students willing to share their energy and time for a period of at least 4 weeks on a concrete project. There is no age limit. Additional InformationWhen you contact us, you briefly explain what you are looking for, what kind of social work you would like to do and what your expectations are. With regard to Spanish classes, you can take our online test (plus an oral test when you come here) and will then be assigned a group of your skill level. You can also communicate your housing preferences, in case you require housing. Send us an mail or use the reservation form on our webpage. Usually the volunteer program starts with a one-day orientation during which you will get to know the place where you will work. You will then be assigned specific tasks based on what the organization needs, your availability, your skills, your Spanish level, your area of interest and obviously also on what you agreed upon in previous contacts with us. Remember that the better your Spanish level, the easier you will be able to communicate in your workplace and the easier you can choose between different tasks. That is true for all volunteer activities.
