One of the great benefits of Sueños Compartidos is that the volunteers live with host families who provide food and housing, which keeps your costs very low.  The semester program expenses are around $3,000 and the summer program expenses are around $1,200 (both estimates based on airfare with departure from the United States).  These amounts are NOT fees to Sueños Compartidos - we don't request or accept any fees - these amounts are your expenses for travel, personal items, sightseeing, etc.  Both of those numbers allow for vacation (semester program) and weekend excursions (summer program).  Email us and we’ll be happy to send you a detailed estimate of expenses.

The qualifications are:

            Application (personal information and essay)

            Passport (no visa required)

            International health insurance

Additionally, to participate in the Maestros summer program, we are looking for volunteers with at least three years of experience teaching ESL.

To begin the process, send us an email and we’ll get the application to you ASAP!
