Highlights

  • Housing and a modest stipend are provided
  • Opportunity to learn and improve in Spanish
  • Experience working in a developing country
  • Association with a long-term, established NGO serving rural, low-resource communities

Overview

In country volunteers are critically important to the vision and mission of Shoulder to Shoulder. With a generous and humble heart, they build new relationships of integrity and empowerment. This is at the very heart of our commitment to the people of the Frontera, Intibucá. The presence of new volunteers helps all of us in the ongoing renewal of that commitment. The best way to understand what the experience of volunteering in a developing country is to hear from someone who has the experience.

Currently we are in need of volunteers to fill the following positions:

Teaching Assistant at the Good Shepherd Bilingual School
Honduran bilingual teachers (salaried positions under the Honduran Ministry of Education)
Apply by submitting your Resume and Cover Letter to Laura Manship (laura@shouldertoshoulder.org).

General Requisites

Shoulder to Shoulder welcomes all volunteers, but some guidelines are necessary so that the experience can be meaningful for you and for those you hope to serve.

Time Commitment: A minimum of three months, and a preferred commitment of 9-12 months. Particular exceptions according to circumstance can be considered.

Spanish: For school volunteers, no Spanish is required. For other volunteer positions, Spanish competency may be required.

Skills: Advanced skills in professional health, public health, education, administration, and social work would be considered extremely valuable.
