Volunteer and community service work while abroad is an excellent way to give back to the community and develop a deeper cultural understanding of the program location. Whether you teach English to local elementary school students, assist in a grassroots community service program, or just dedicate time to a food shelter, you will not only better your Spanish, but also make lifelong friends along the way!
Our normal structure is that we include one volunteer activity per program session. This usually entails 4 to 5 hours dedicated to the activity that day. Each location is different as to what it has to offer for volunteer options and volunteer work is mainly done in our Latin American locations. Please review the volunteer section of the program country for more specifics. Upon request, we can provide you and your school with an official letter defining the projects and hours that you complete while abroad.

Requirements & Process: The only requirement for the internship class is to have an appropriate level of Spanish. Those students who test at level 6 or lower are placed in internships in Educational Institutions. Students who have level 7 or higher are able to be placed in any of the three options. Interested students must submit via an email a résumé as part of their Sol Education Abroad paperwork. Once a student is selected for the internship class, the assigned university supervisor will select the institution where they will work. This is based off of the résumé, skills, level of Spanish, etc.
