volunteer cuenca spanish

The Volunteer Cuenca program offers Spanish students the opportunity to carry out meaningful volunteer work in Cuenca in combination with Spanish classes. Most programs are more active in the mornings, so that is when volunteering generally takes place. Following this, you will have 3 hours of classes each day in the afternoon.

We offer a variety of volunteer projects in Cuenca with grass-roots local organizations that are carrying out important work and are well organized and well run. We will be happy to discuss your volunteer expectations with you to ensure that you are well suited to the volunteer placement of your choice. You can read about the volunteer options we offer below.

Volunteering is not only a good way to immerse yourself in speaking and listening to Spanish, but it is also a good way to give something back to the community in general. Many students who volunteer say afterwards that the volunteering was what made most impact on them and leaves them with their best memories of their time in Ecuador.

"My time volunteering in Cuenca at a daycare centre was well worth it. The kids were great and I was sad to leave them. I would like to go on supporting the centre in the future and hope to come back one day with more resources as they definitely need a lot. Well done Yanapuma - keep up the good work."
