Volunteer with Low-Income Kids at NGO in Mexico - From $150 per week

I’m having so much fun volunteering at casa de Los Angeles. The teachers and staff are all so sweet and so welcoming. The children are so precious and it’s been so much fun to connect with them during the week. I’m amazed at the children’s independence at such young ages; it really shows how well the program is structured and shows the teachers persistence in providing the best care and education for the kids. The food provided is top of the line and I haven’t tasted a bad meal. They care about nutrition which is the ground work for the children’s success in the classrooms. They clothe, clean and do the children’s hair everyday before the children leave because when you look good you feel good. I think it’s important for these children to get that sense of self esteem and go home feeling happy. They send the children home with full bellies, minds and hearts. Such a fantastic program.

I had an amazing experience in this volunteer program. I was given the opportunity to connect with kids and to provide them with more care. The program is excellent for people who want to make an impact on a child’s life. The program is organized. The volunteer coordinator made sure that I felt welcome in the volunteer house and during work. I felt very welcome in the daycare during the entirety of my stay. The teachers in the daycare make an effort to make sure you understand what you are supposed to do. It was amazing to see how much more kids can grow in an environment full of love and respect. The kids make the experience unforgettable. The opportunity to be able to work with such amazing people to help others is priceless. I highly recommend this experience.

I've volunteered at Centro Infantil de Los Angeles three times and plan to come back many more! The program is well-organized and working with the kids is an amazing experience. The kids are loving and kind and want to be your friend immediately.

This organization has had a huge impact on the community of San Miguel de Allende, which is evident when you're walking around the town and see one of the mothers, teachers or children. The program makes you feel like you really are connected to these people and their pueblo.

The volunteer house is beautiful, spacious, and has a great view of the city! San Miguel de Allende is an awesome location with lots to see and explore. This is 100% one of the best volunteer experiences you could have.

I had a very good experience with Casa de los Angeles in July 2015. Everything is well organized and what you do is very concrete. I felt useful working at the daycare and supporting the staff. A lot of support from the organization and an intense language immersion! A nice city with a lot of things to do. I will definitely go back. I am strongly recommending this organization for volunteering. Young or not, by yourself, with family members or friends, this is the perfect place to volunteer.

I spent 3 months volunteering with Casa de Los Angeles this summer 2015. My motivation to live in Mexico was originally for immersion purposes. I wanted to improve my Spanish skills, but I had no idea just how much working with Casa would change my life. The opportunity to work with underprivileged children broadened my perspective, allowed me to appreciate and be a part of a new culture and spend time playing, laughing and loving those kids!! Not only is the staff at Casa welcoming but I grew to think of each and every one of them as a friend. Their passion for their career at Casa is obvious, and they grow to care for and love each little nino/a that comes through those doors. Not only did I meet and befriend natives of San Miguel/Mexico, but being a part of this organization allowed me to encounter other like-minded volunteers willing to give their time from all over the world. From ages 12-65, I met people in all different walks of life from various countries, and made friends who I continue to be in contact with today. We share a bond, an experience working with those children. An experience that truly opened my eyes and allowed my mind to understand the joy that comes with helping and working with children! Based on my time at Casa, I would absolutely work as a volunteer again.

San Miguel de Allende is a beautiful, colonial city that offers various events all over the city. From outdoor markets selling fresh food and flowers, to handmade goods and wares made by local artisans in front of your eyes to outdoor concerts, classes and community events---San Miguel has it all. The people are so amiable and while the town was busy and bustling, I felt a slower daily rhythm that creates such a relaxed atmosphere. While I used common sense traveling throughout Mexico, San Miguel really fosters a safe environment within the community. I did not feel the least bit scared at any point in time.

I cannot wait to return to Casa this December 2015 to visit the people who have become like a second family to me.

it's such a wonderful organization which I had my first formal internship in the summer of 2015. I am really glad to have the chance to gain practical experience working with young kids since I learned early childhood and family studies in college. Also I study Spanish too, so Mexico is a perfect option. The culture, the people everything here are so nice. the kids are really cute and adorable, you would love them. I strongly recommend this place to everyone, you will never regret to come!

Casa is such a wonderful place and it serves as an incredible value to the community of San Miguel de Allende. All the people involved in the organization are kind, friendly, and passionate about the children and families that they serve. It was such a cool experience getting involved and learning about this place. It is hard to describe the feeling being there each day seeing, hearing, and feeling the love and compassion shared at Casa. They even serve some children from local orphanages.Their mission is to help the families to help themselves. Great things are happening there. I would totally recommend that others learn about it, give to the cause, or even better, go and volunteer! I hope to go back some day!

Casa is a truly Nice place. To see the happy kids, and the even happier moms when they come to the daycare. They have a place where their kids are safe, and can be kids. In the park, at the playground or in the classrooms.
The teachers are so patient even when you Can see that a volunteer almost have given up, the teachers are Always there!
The fact that every Day is special is Amazing. That some days are park days, some days are for dancing and a Day for honoring the flag. My personal favorite was wedensdays with the songs, the kids were either laugning or concetrating on remembering the songs, and when they get to pick the song or when you finally found put what the song was about, it is truly Amazing!
I would highly recomend this place and San Miguel is and Amazing, beautiful and safe City to be in. So that casa is located here, is even better. The staff, the teachers, the kids, the moms and the other volunteers, truly makes it a good experience!
