Our Programs
English School
In our English School Program, we teach to students who would otherwise not have access to quality English language education, fostering their growth via fun, interactive classes taught by both local & international volunteers.
Conversation Classes
Speaking a language is the key to improving which is why we created Conversation Classes for adults. A key benefit of this program is that participants receive real-time feedback on their English speaking skills and grammar from volunteers who are either fluent or native English speakers.
Environmental Program
It’s of the utmost importance that we protect the places we explore. In our Environmental Program, we provide support to local activists and movements plus offer programming that shares the importance of protecting our environment with the communities we work in.
“I came to Espaanglisch Peru hoping I could help the program while improving my Spanish. After two months of service, I was permanently changed for the better. The students taught me more than I ever taught them. If you are an adventurous person who is open to a new culture and you love a challenge, you will be enriched by volunteering at Espaanglisch. The world is improved one small dream at a time and nothing compares to the smile you put on the face of a child who has very little in life. Consider helping Espaanglisch make the world a better place.”
— Jesse C. Robinson, Volunteer
The majority of our work currently takes place in Alto Trujillo, an area that was created in the 1980s by migrants fleeing armed conflict in the highlands and which has since grown to a population of approximately 45,000 people. It’s one of the most impoverished areas of Trujillo, with many neighborhoods lacking basic services, such as water and electricity.
