Overview
HCA coordinates community-based educational enrichment and healthy living programs to help children gain access to opportunities by developing essential skills. Operating at three locations in the friendly seaside town of El Porvenir, classes are provided at no cost to the students. Volunteers live at our beachfront volunteer house which is walking-distance to our classrooms and local shops.
• Your co-workers will come from around the world. Blended groups comprised of international volunteers and Honduran interns, work in a unified effort at 3 walking-distance classroom locations in our friendly, beachfront community of El Porvenir.
• Class topics include English, computers, nutrition, Spanish literacy, science, art, social skills, and more! Our professionally designed curriculum, combined with the creative input of our international education-team provides a well-rounded and engaging experience for the children.
• Gender-based discrimination and racism are never ok and so our classroom community actively and age-appropriately engages to explore these challenges and ensure that all participants, children, and adults, feel welcome, supported, and respected.
Honduras Child Alliance seeks volunteers who are energetic and collaborative. Some ability to speak Spanish is a plus but flexibility, a sense of humor, and problem-solving skills are a must! Live at the beach and work with amazing kids!
Housing is available at our 2 clean, comfortable, and secure volunteer houses and costs $35-$42 (USD) per week depending on the length of your stay. The houses each have a full kitchen where volunteers prepare their own food. Generally, there are 5-7 international volunteers staying at each house.
Volunteers who are 19 + years are preferred and we are especially interested in long-term volunteers. The minimum volunteer period is 6 weeks but many volunteers stay for 3-6 mos. or even a full year. We are always able to be flexible in accommodating your preferred starting date.
