SPECIAL PROGRAMS SPANISH AND VOLUNTEER 2-4 Week Minimum Intermediate Spanish Every Monday
The Elebaires Spanish and Volunteer program is an extraordinary opportunity for anyone wanting to improve their Spanish skills. Through volunteering, students not only learn Spanish in a native environment but also have the opportunity to lend a hand to those who are working to improve their communities whilst simultaneously acquiring meaningful work experience. Working directly with members of the local community, students gain a better understanding of Argentina's rich cultural diversity, traditions and day to day issues that occur in the lives of the people.
Our Volunteer program is available on a year-round basis. All students enrolled in an Elebaires Spanish course (for a minimum of two weeks) are eligible. Typically, a time commitment of at least 2-4 weeks of volunteering is desired from the volunteer. There is no minimum Spanish level requirement although some organizations require intermediate to advanced Spanish ability.
Upon registering with Elebaires, we will provide you with information regarding possible Volunteer programs we have with partner NGOs that meet your criteria and personal interests. Once you have chosen which program you would like to participate in, Elebaires will confirm and coordinate all the necessary documentation with the selected organization.
CLASS HOURS:
The volunteering option can be accompanied with any of our Spanish Courses and the class hours will depend on your learning goals.
DURATION
The minimum enrolment for the semi-private course is one week however we advise our students to enrol in two weeks segments as our teaching levels are taught over a two week period. Our levels are designed according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. There is no maximum limit for enrolment as everyone's learning experience and progress is different. The duration of the class depends entirely upon your goals. If you are unsure about how much time you might need, contact us, we would be happy to provide you with advice.
CLASS SIZE
This will all depend on the program that you choose but our Spanish classes have a maximum limit of seven students. In the case that there are no other students on your level, your four hours of group classes will be replaced for two hours of private classes, without additional costs.
