Volunteer programs are cropping up all over the place, but it can be hard to find quality programs that really have an impact on the local community. I’m lucky to work in the field of international education, language, and travel, and you can trust that I’m exposed to a LOT of volunteer programs. One of my favorites is Chile’s English Opens Doors, orIngles Abre Puertas, which boasts the rare support and funding from both a Ministry of Education and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Here is a quick look at the top five rewards of participating in this prestigious program.
Become fluent (or almost fluent) in Spanish
Regardless of your career path, command of the Spanish language is sure to be an asset. With host family stays and a Spanish immersion program run by the Ministry of Education, any English Opens Doors (EOD) volunteer will have fluency or near fluency by the end of their service.
