Volunteer in Ecuador - Lowest Fees & Trusted Since 2003

For three weeks I, a recently retired high school teacher and my husband, a recently retired IT engineer (my classroom assistant) taught English to several grades in a poor indigenous school in Quito. VERY FULFILLING. Friendly (albeit occasionally undisciplined) kids, appreciative staff, super helpful in-country support person. Celebrating spring equinox a highlight. Brought many teaching supplies and helped with English pronunciation. Very friendly homestay with generous hosts, comfortable lodgings and terrific food. Explored Quito's ethnographic museums, amazing cathedrals and lively city squares. Drove to the equator, volcanoes and cloud forest. Treated ourselves to The Galapagos at the end. Ecuador is beautiful and Quito is magnificent.

Being a young guy who delights in serving other- this opportunity of Teaching English in Ecuador was a blessing. Doing it through Global Crossroad was incredible!!!
The experience started with the host. They were very kind and friendly people. They were always willing to help. They served me three meals a day with fresh fruits each time. Accommodation was also great with very clean room and a great ambient. I could have asked for no better host. We also had a quality time in the evening talking about our days and sharing laughs.

Jose, the country coordinator was also very helpful, calm and empathetic. He arranged for our outings in the weekends, which was amazing. I was placed in one of the Local School in Quito called RAFAEL BRITO. My responsibilities included teaching English, supporting teachers, organizing creative activities, providing companionship to the children, developing their conversational skills and more. This was a great opportunity for me to understand and learn about the children and education system in Ecuador. The teachers were very smart and friendly which made by job very easy. The students were sweet, disciplined and enthusiastic which made teaching very fun. It was great!!
