Volunteer English Teachers for 1 month English Jumpstart Camps! January 2017

Camps will be held January 2017 in San Jose and rural communities of Costa Rica from January 2nd- February 3rd

This ESL Camp provides intensive English instruction to students who are beginning high school (7th grade). These students, usually from rural areas, have had little or no previous English instruction and therefore start high school lagging behind other students, academically, and are at greater risk for dropping out. The camps are sponsored by local foundations who want to give Costa Rican kids and teenagers a chance to improve their English either before entering high school, or before graduating.

Volunteer teachers will work with 20 kids from 8am-2pm Monday through Friday, with weekends free to explore! English Volunteers for Change provides the curriculum with lesson plans and all materials so volunteers know what to teach each day.

To confirm, this is not a paid position; it is a volunteer position.

"These camps are the most effective way to change the mentality about education within these at-risks populations, something that is very important when these students enter the key high-school years. The program unites volunteers, teachers, students, and the whole community, putting the focus on young people and their potential."
