Community English Teacher Program, Risaralda, Colombia
About Program
In Partnership with the local Department of Education, the Nukanti Foundation is offering short-term opportunities to work with youth in Risaralda, Colombia—the heart of the coffee region. The program runs from August 1 – November 31, 2014, and will give you a chance to see Colombia and stay with a local family while assist English teachers in rural Risaralda Colombia and engaging in conversational activities with the students and instructors. You'll also create and deliver a daily after-school activity of your choosing that engages youth in English conversation exercises. (Past topics have included sports, arts, conversation club, etc.) This is a unique opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Colombia, get to know the culture of the coffee region, and improve your Spanish language skills while giving youth in rural Colombia an opportunity to study English with a native speaker; an opportunity they could not otherwise enjoy.
