If you want to live a unique experience that will change your life, being a volunteer is a great option available in Cuenca, Ecuador. We will be happy to find the right program for you, as we are experts in the promotion of social activities with local associations and international students who want to lend their support, time, knowledge and values to them. Volunteer services may go from four weeks to one year, depending on the association and the Spanish language program of your choice.
This volunteer program can be the perfect complement to any Estudio Sampere Cuenca language course: either the intensive course, one-toone lessons, or the Travel & Study program, if you want to know the country before diving into the local culture.
Estudio Sampere aims at collaborating with social welfare institutions working with children, elderly people, or people at risk. Our team will advise you on the type of volunteer work you can do, and look for an association that meets all your needs, with regard to an international volunteering experience. You will be able to put everything you have learned into practice, while improving your language skills in real situations, with the permanent support of our team.
At the end of program, you will share your experience with the school to discuss your results, from a linguistic standpoint.
THIS IS A SUPPLEMENT TO ADD TO ANY SAMPERE COURSE.

This option provides a full linguistic and cultural immersion, since students not only practice the language in class with their teachers, but also have real-life experiences with their host family. They help students on their day-to-day, and teach them vocabulary and expressions that are typical of each region, and of each member of the family. This way, students get a first-hand approach on how to live Spanish speakers, their local gastronomy and jargon.
At home, students will share the common areas with the rest of the family: the living room, kitchen, bathroom, but they will have, of course, their own private bedroom. In case of couples or friends traveling together, the choice of a double room is also available.
Families have been carefully hand-picked to meet our requirements. As language experts, we know that being away from home can affect the student’s learning and overall experience. Thus, our families are used to welcoming students and making them feel part of the family. We select the family based on the students’ interests, so that this experience can provide both an academic and a personal enrichment.
Students can choose the half-board option, if they also want to try the delicious local cuisine offered by each destination at local restaurants, or full-board if they want to take full advantage of the experience of discovering traditional dishes, prepared with great care by the families.
The Director of each school, always at the student’s disposal, can change a student’s accommodation if the need arises. If the student is not happy and wants to change family, the School will propose the names of three additional families that the student can visit and then make his/her choice. There is no extra cost if a student decides to change families.
Thanks to our more than 60 years of experience hosting students, we are confident that we will be able to fulfill your expectations. Our most recent satisfaction survey shows a 90% success rate, both for students and for members of the families
Apartments are available for individual students or two people booking together. Typical studio apartments feature 1 or 2 beds, a bathroom and kitchenette for an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

and have special rates in most of them.
