Excerpt:
Bilingual Education for Central America (BECA) is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2002. BECA partners with three Honduran communities to collaboratively run bilingual schools that are serving more than 600 students every day. Our oldest graduates are now engineers, teachers, entrepreneurs, and much more! In these days when an end to DACA and TPS in the U.S. coupled with deepening inequality in Honduras means that our Central American neighbors have limited options when it comes to protecting their families’ well-being, supporting BECA means no need to take a perilous journey north. It means intact families. It means solidarity and love.
Our mission is to promote cultural exchange and affordable, quality bilingual education. Our volunteer-driven bilingual school model creates an environment in which Central American students learn from dedicated Honduran & International volunteer teachers, and those volunteers learn from the community in which they are immersed.
We are currently recruiting full-yearvolunteer teachers for the 2018 – 2019 school year.
Room & board provided – Food & incidentals stipend – No Spanish or Teaching certificate required
Social justice is at the core of our work and that is why we strive to create an equitable environment for our international and Honduran volunteers. Part of our mission of cultural exchange means supporting our volunteers’ personal and professional growth to become change makers.
