HCA coordinates community-based educational enrichment and healthy living programs to help children gain access to opportunities by developing essential skills.
- Your co-workers will come from around the world. Blended groups comprised of international volunteers and Honduran interns, work in a unified effort at 3 walking-distance classroom locations in our friendly, beachfront community of El Porvenir.
- Class topics include English & Spanish literacy, technology, science, art, social skills, sexuality education, and more! Our professionally designed curriculum, combined with the creative input of our international education-team provides a well-rounded and engaging experience for the children.
- Gender-based discrimination and racism are never ok and so our classroom community actively and age-appropriately engages to explore these challenges and ensure that all participants, children, and adults, feel welcome, supported, and respected.
- Programs operate year-round and there is always a need for volunteers. Ideally, volunteers should be 20+ years old, and we encourage long-term volunteers. The minimum volunteer period is 6 weeks, but many stay for 3-6 months or even a full year. We are flexible and can accommodate your preferred starting date.
Honduras Child Alliance seeks volunteers who are energetic and collaborative. Spanish skills are a plus (not required) but flexibility, a sense of humor, and problem-solving abilities are a must. Live near the beach and experience the joy of working with incredible kids!
Housing is available at our 2 clean, comfortable, and secure volunteer houses and costs $42-49 (USD) per week depending on the length of your stay. The houses each have a full kitchen where volunteers prepare their own food. Generally, there are 4-7 international volunteers staying at each house.
Convo-Amigos Spanish Instruction! Volunteers receive 5 FREE conversational Spanish lessons either through our online tutoring program before they arrive or in person once they are in El Porvenir. Additional lessons can be purchased on our website https://honduraschildalliance.org/volunteering/convo-amigos-program or our Instagram page.

Mission Statement
The Honduras Child Alliance provides educational enrichment and healthy living programs for children and teens in the north-coast beach community of El Porvenir. Programs include: English & Spanish literacy, computers, arts, intro to science, sports and fitness, group skills/conflict resolution, and more! These projects were initiated in response to our awareness that the cycle of poverty is perpetuated through lack of education. The combined energy of our international volunteers, managers, and directors blends a unique and effective set of skills to support educational and humanitarian projects in an effort to target that cycle. As we collaborate to develop opportunities for children in El Porvenir, we welcome volunteers, sponsors, and cooperation with like-minded organizations.
Description
The Honduras Child Alliance programs offer free programs that include immersive literacy activities in both Spanish and English, and art, music, science, and sports activities. Laptops and Kindles are used to enhance learning with technology. Programs run year-round.
In addition: * Healthy Snacks Program / Nutrition Education: Children receive a daily protein-filled snack to address food insecurity among our students. The snacks are nutritious and locally sourced, promoting healthy food choices. * Sexuality Education: Age-appropriate information to help young people understand and make good decisions about their bodies. * 'Mascotas Saludables' / Healthy Pets: Quarterly events to provide healthcare, vaccinations, and flea/tick treatments to animals in the communities while also promoting kindness to animals and helping children learn to care for their pets. * English for teens: An immersive English class designed for high school students who are eager to practice speaking, reading, and writing in English. * PEP-Adultos: English instruction tailored for adults. * Convo-Amigos: Our adult students become tutors for our international volunteers in conversational Spanish. This exchange benefits everyone and fosters lasting skills and friendships.
Join us for a relaxed and enriching experience with a diverse team! You will make learning fun and true friendships are formed!
