Colegio Honofre Benavides is a public primary and secondary school, located in Tomepampa, a rural village in the Cotahuasi Canyon region of Southern Peru. Volunteers are essential in supporting student education and providing cross-cultural exposure to children at the school. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain teaching experience in a completely different cultural setting and to live in a little-visited, yet fascinating, area of Peru! 

Volunteer responsibilities include:

• Classroom support

• Teaching English

• Assisting with lesson planning

• Running after school workshops (homework help, English practice, etc.)

• Supporting individual students

• Chores inside the school to improve infrastructure

• Assisting in subjects other than English, depending on level of Spanish and needs of the school

• Volunteers may also develop other projects, according to the needs of the school and community.

 

 

While we welcome all applications, please consider the following:

​

 

• Intermediate Spanish or better is required for this project. Preference will be given to those with a higher level of Spanish fluency.

• This project runs from March-December, due to school holidays

• We ask that those applying for this opportunity dedicate a minimum of 1 month.
