Virtual Opportunity
Online volunteers are always welcome at La Esperanza and we're open to new ideas as to how you can volunteer with us. Specifically, La Esperanza Granada is seeking skilled and passionate individuals to be virtual volunteers in areas such as translation, writing and editing, design and administration. Now more than ever we need help raising funds. The 2018 protests in Nicaragua meant La Esperanza was hit by a decrease in tourism. Now, the COVID crisis has further challenged our work. If you're able to help us with fundraising projects in your own country and/or online, we would be thrilled. The aforementioned volunteers are valuable throughout the year and time commitments are entirely flexible. Volunteers in this role should have at least advanced level English and additional language requirements vary depending on responsibilities. If you're looking for a teaching role online then have a look at our Online English Teacher listing. Please do not hesitate to contact La Esperanza Granada if you wish to join our team as an online volunteer.
