I N Mexico

VOLUNTEER

Amidst the rugged desert topography
of the Sierra Madre Mountains is the
Spanish colonial city of Querétaro
- considered among Mexico’s finest
cultural and historical attractions.

As a Global Volunteer, you and your
teammates are regarded as rare and
valuable English language resources
in university classrooms. Because
English fluency is often required for TEACH CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH
Mexican students to advance their
career options, they laud the help
volunteers provide. Simple drills and
conversational practice help improve
classroom instruction and give Mexican
university students the skills to find
good jobs and prosper in their home-
land.

“Interacting with bright, attentive students and being welcomed into a new culture on
a personal level–isn’t this the goal of a true teacher/traveler? After participating in four
programs with Global Volunteers, I cannot imagine any other kind of travel.”
~Mexico Volunteer Tom Medsger
