Volunteer
Casa Xelaju, a Spanish language school in Quetzaltenago, founded and supports the La Pedrera School and other schools in the rural area in Guatemala. For students doing extended study (2 or more months) at Casa Xelaju, there are opportunities to put your language skills to work as a volunteer. Volunteers must have a high level ofproficiency in Spanish. A volunteer could expect to spend half days at the school assisting the teacher with lessons in math, science, art, writing, and computer skills. If you are already planning to do immersion language study at Casa Xelaju and would like additional experience teaching in Spanish, contact us
to learn more about how you might help at the school.
