Maestros is an English program for teachers working in the public school systems in Mexico and
Colombia. A Sueños Compartidos volunteer leads a four-week intensive English workshop (20 hours/week) primarily
focusing on conversation/listening/pronunciation. In some locations, during the final week of the program, volunteers
teach in the classrooms of the teachers participating in the program. Class size is up to twenty students. Our
volunteer teachers receive meals and housing from the teacher group in Mexico or Colombia. Classes are Monday-Friday,
with weekends open for relaxation and travel. Both Mexico and Colombia offer fantastic travel opportunities... but with
the friends you make in your teaching community, you might decide not to go anywhere else! As a volunteer you will experience
Mexico or Colombia - the food, the music, the geography, and the people!
Program dates in 2013 for Colombia are June 17-July 12 in Caquetá, Casanare, Cauca, and July 1-26 in Nariño. Program dates for Mexico are July 8-August 2. Location
is Michoacán; note that all spots have been filled for Mexico 2013. The application for Colombia is available on the "Qualifications
and Application" page. We will begin the formal recruiting process in April 2013. Of course, feel free to email us if you would like to introduce yourself and begin a conversation about the Maestros
program!
