Teach Spain

Would you like the opportunity to not only travel to a new country, but experience the real life and the spirit of your chosen destination? AIDE�s Teach programs are the perfect way to live like a true member of the community and to fully integrate into a new culture.

The Association for International Development and Exchange (AIDE) provides international teach, work and volunteer placements. AIDE was launched in August 2007 as the new not for profit sister organization of Alliance Abroad Group (AAG), in order to expand upon the programs historically offered by the AAG Outbound Department. As a not for profit AIDE aims to reach a larger audience, and has more than 15 years of experience in offering programs abroad due to its affiliation with the AAG Outbound Department. Our Goal is to create programs and services for people that will create positive change in their communities in the U.S. and abroad and will enhance their chances to achieve international understanding.

Live with a Spanish family and teach your native language (English, German, French or Italian), in exchange for room and board. You will generally be asked to work an average of 15 hours per week, Monday through Friday, and have weekends and the rest of the time free to sightsee, learn about Spanish culture and make new friends!

Spain is a country with a rich and diverse cultural history. On it�s soil and in its people lays the imprint of the Romans, the Moors, Colonial Spain, the riches of the Americas, countless different regional differences, and in today�s recent wave of immigrants. Spain�s people are as diverse as its geography, made up of mountain ranges, alluvial plains, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.
