Volunteer abroad program for Teens
Pueblo Inglés | A language immersion program with a cultural twist
Can you imagine every nook and cranny of every street of every corner of a quaint Spanish town filled with teenagers from around the globe? Well such a place exists and it’s called Pueblo Ingles for Teens!
Thanks to our volunteer in europe for under 18 opportunities, Spaniards and native English-speaking teens chat, play sports, and hang out in our summer camps… and all in the name of English!
Since July 2004 we have welcomed thousands of volunteer teenagers to our little villages, where the official language is no longer Spanish.
We have greeted thousands of American, Canadian, Irish, British, Australian, South African and Kiwi teenagers who have enjoyed fabulous days in the land of Don Quixote.
A fun and rewarding experience is offered in exchange for your English conversation.
- Teen volunteers can enjoy a free week at one of our English-speaking villages. Our venues host English “talkathons” every summer and we sponsor native English-speakers to be the protagonists!
- Every summer, a group of volunteers from around the world “populate” one of our beautiful hotel resorts and provide conversation in English, through a funny daily schedule. Spaniards are there to practice and improve their English in a natural way.
- Our volunteers do not have to teach English in a traditional format; they just have to bring a positive attitude, a passion for conversation and an interest in learning about people from different countries and cultures.
- Diversity plays a key role at Pueblo Ingles: firstly, in the way our volunteer groups are so mixed (different nationalities, ages, backgrounds, etc); and secondly in the way the daily schedule is so varied to keep things fresh and exciting.
- Activities change every hour to keep it fun and engaging.
WHO IS THIS SUMMER VOLUNTEER PROGRAM FOR?
This is a perfect opportunity to participate in volunteer abroad programs for high school students.
If you are between 13 and 17 years of age, want to come to Spain and meet a ton of fun and interesting people your age, YOU could be the perfect volunteer!
In order to be a volunteer teenager at Pueblo Ingles, you need to be a native English speaker (US, Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa…), have a friendly, outgoing nature and be willing to help Spanish students practice English in a fun environment.
Your role in the volunteer abroad teen program
Your job will not be to “teach” English; it will be to “expose” your Spanish friends to the English language by being talkative, inquisitive, and fun. Most of the Spaniards speak pretty good English but have not used the language much in real life situations. They need to build their confidence and know that they can speak and communicate with others in English. Your role will be to talk and listen, and to be patient and understanding!
You will need to be talktative, inquisitive and fun!
Part of your job at Pueblo Ingles is to make sure that the Spaniards don’t group together and start speaking Spanish. Keep a close watch on small groups quietly talking amongst themselves without an Anglo in sight. Oh, and if we catch YOU speaking Spanish, we will order your head chopped off and placed on a pike in the town square! Only ENGLISH in Pueblo Ingles please!!!
