Description

Our Greenheart Travel Teach in Chile Program is an excellent way to share your English language expertise with Chilean students while also engaging in an enriching cultural exchange experience abroad. Greenheart Travel has been selected by the Chilean government to send volunteer teachers to northern Chile in partnership with the Chilean Ministerio de Educacion, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the English Open Doors Program. Volunteers will be placed in local schools in the Coquimbo Region (IV), part of the “Chico Norte” zone, to support the English teaching staff by providing native language instruction and extracurricular activities. The Teach English in Chile program is a full time commitment and is available for 8, 6 or 4 months with specific start dates (see table below).
