Participation in volunteer opportunities abroad is an excellent way to immerse oneself in another country's way of life. ISA-ELAP is an enriching experience for proficient Spanish speakers who are seeking to contribute to an organization's responsibilities and mission while simultaneously learning about themselves in an unfamiliar, and at times, challenging environment.

Participants develop skills, considered valuable to potential employers, such as problem solving, appreciation for community and diversity, the ability to cooperate and collaborate in an international setting, and a more intimate understanding of global issues.

In each country, internship and volunteer options fall into specific service areas. Use the list below along with the Profile Form to consider which service area(s) interest you the most. A few examples are listed within each service area to give you an idea of what is available. Each ISA-ELAP experience is unique and depends on the participant's skills and level of Spanish as well as the organization's tasks at any given time of the year. Please contact ISA-ELAP advisors for sample activities that previous ISA-ELAP volunteers have helped carry out at various organizations. Please contact us if you have any questions.
