The program represents a great opportunity for all native English-speakers who want to spend a week enjoying culture, conversation, and connecting with people. You will have the chance to get to know a group of diverse individuals from all walks of life and to form long-lasting friendships.

Volunteers can enjoy a free week at one of our English-speaking villages. Our volunteers do not have to teach English in a traditional format, they just have to bring a positive attitude, a passion for conversation and an interest in learning about people from different countries and cultures. A fun and rewarding experience is offered in exchange for your English conversation.
