L4Y at El Jarama

Miguel from Leaders for Youth came to the University of Dayton in Ohio and held information sessions for his program. I decided to go in order to learn more about the experience. I thought to myself, what better way to go to Spain in the summer that includes working with kids and being provided housing! After I attended the information session, I was so excited. As a future educator, this was the perfect opportunity to go to Spain while also gaining incredible experience and growing as an individual. Little did I know that being placed at CEI El Jarama, would be one of the best experiences of my life. Not only did I meet counselors from a variety of different cultures and countries, but I can truly say some of the staff I met, will be my true friends for the rest of my life. Everyone was so supportive and so positive. Every day at camp, working with kiddos to help them have a fun summer experience while immersing themselves in English, was an unbelievable opportunity. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is thinking about travelling and also loves to work with kids. It was an experience I will never forget.
