Due to the global pandemic we now have a greater need for online volunteers than ever. We have seen our international volunteer numbers drop dramatically and as a result this has meant that we have created a new kind of online volunteer role, the online English teacher. The online English teacher will be leading English classes to the children in our learning centers, with local volunteers present at all times. You will be working in the afternoons (Nicaraguan time) teaching English to small groups of three students aged from 5 to 12 years old.
Volunteers applying for this role will need at advanced level of English and at least an intermediate level of Spanish. We require a minimum time commitment of two weeks, although as always, a longer time commitment is greatly welcomed.

About La Esperanza Granada
Location:
calle Corrales,costado noreste conv. San Francisco, Granada, Nicaragua, NI
Mission Statement
Our mission: By providing opportunities and resources for the long term educational advancement and community development of the Granadino barrios, we hope to brighten the future of the children and empower each community so that they can break the cycle of poverty. At La Esperanza Granada, we believe in giving a hand up, not a handout.
Description
Located in Granada, Nicaragua, La Esperanza Granada is a non-profit organization with a primary focus on creating opportunities for children through education. 'Born’ in 2002, we started in one small village and now provide learning opportunities to more than 2,000 underprivileged children living in the barrios of Granada.
We are a nonprofit, nonpolitical, nondenominational organization, funded by donations of individuals, groups, service groups, schools etc. Donations are used for building new classrooms and schools, contributing to teacher’s salaries, and various things to help improve education and health for the children, such as making copies of exams and worksheets, buying textbooks, dental visits, sports supplies, school repairs and a never ending list of needs in this impoverished country.
The coronavirus crisis has damaged tourism in Nicaragua, reducing our funds and international volunteer numbers. Despite this, La Esperanza has persisted. The staff and the children here are extremely excited to welcome back our international volunteers!
Granada is a beautiful colonial city, on the shore of Lake Cocibolca and surrounded by volcanoes. The beach is never far away. There’s safe and accessible transport service within Granada and connecting it to surrounding areas. While Nicaragua has no official Covid restrictions, citizens generally follow Covid safety protocols
