Sueños Compartidos is a cultural exchange program in which volunteers
teach English and cultural activites in public elementary schools in Colombia and Mexico. Volunteers stay
with a local host family who provides meals and housing. We offer three programs; the semester program,
Maestros, and Niños. The semester program is a four month commitment to work with a community in
Colombia for one school semester. A volunteer teaches English at local schools during the week, and leads
an English workshop for public school teachers during the evenings or weekends. Maestros is a four
week program teaching English to public school teachers in Mexico. Niños is a four week program working with
a team of volunteer teachers leading English and cultural activities for children in grades one through six in Mexico (summer)
or Colombia (Christmas). Generally, we work in rural areas or “pueblitos”; this is not Bogota
or Mexico City!! As a matter of fact, you’re going to experience Colombia and Mexico in a way that
many Colombians and Mexicans never do! Take a look at our programs to find out more…
