About Program

These completely customizable Spanish Language programs in Barcelona or Madrid, Spain and Chinchiná or Cartagena, Colombia offer participants an opportunity to study language at their own pace. These programs also offer meaningful volunteer service with a wide range of grassroots organizations. The type of volunteering will vary depending upon the duration of your stay. IPSL encourages the addition of volunteering as it is a great way to maximize your exposure to the language and culture.

When you're able to communicate with people in their language, it increases your ability to make meaning out of experiences and interactions with them and fosters trust and understanding across cultures.

Please contact IPSL to set up a time to discuss your interests and goals in a Spanish Language and potential Volunteer Service program. Together, you will create a program that perfectly suits your needs and budget.

Impact

Sustainability

IPSL works to lessen its carbon footprint on our increasingly fragile planet. Since study abroad can only take place by boarding a plane, IPSL contributes to sustainable projects in several countries whose efforts help mitigate the harmful effects of pollution and waste that result from traveling. In one academic year, IPSL can contribute funding to environmental organizations to offset close to 600,000 air miles flown by our students, staff, and faculty. In concrete terms, we remit funds to help plant trees around the world; those trees then absorb some of the harmful effects that result from our decisions.

Ethical Impact

Since 1981, IPSL has facilitated over 471,000 volunteer hours in our partner communities, supported the work of hundreds of nonprofits and NGOs around the world, vigorously (and unapologetically) promoted social-racial-economic justice through service-based programming, research and publishing, scholarships/funding, and on social media. Recently, our organization launched new initiatives that will sustain our service-based mission into the future. At home, we maintain the same mindful practices by supporting local organizations that support the most vulnerable people. Large and small, every decision we make is about giving back and making our world a better and more just place.
