On-site
Public schools in Nicaragua only offer children schooling for half a day. This leads to many children without parental care in the afternoon and playing in the streets. This is where La Esperanza steps in. Our learning centers provide a safe, clean, informal environment where children can come and continue their learning in areas such as Math, Art, Spanish, Computing, Reading and English. They are also stocked with resources not often found in the schools such as books, worksheets, art supplies, educational games, computers and tablets.
As a Learning Center Assistant, you will work with local volunteers to support and assist the children as they learn. You will instigate activities and games, rather than running formal lessons. The objective is to create a fun, interactive and positive learning environment outside of the classroom. The children are enthusiastic about learning and excited to meet new people.
