Program description: |
|
|
The majority of projects are around the capital Santiago,where volunteers teach English in large secondary schools. All these schools are in poorer areas of the capital so the people our volunteers work with really need help and support. This is the ideal oppurtunity to improve your Spanish and discover one of the most diverse countries in the world.

Benefits and advantages of the program: |
|
|
All our volunteers go up to the Isle of Coll for a selection course, a training course and when they return from their twelve months overseas, a debriefing course. Project Trust is a small charity with around 220 volunteers overeas this year, this means we get to know each of our volunteers individually. We have sent over 4, 000 volunteers overseas in the last 36 years and as one of the oldest year out companies we have a wealth of experience i nthis field. All our volunteers are fully supported with a large backup network both in this country and abroad.
