About the program

Help shape the minds of children in the classroom and make a long-lasting impact on their futures. As a volunteer in the education program, you will be assisting a teacher in a class or teaching a subject directly, depending on your experience.



The subject of the class will depend on what you know and the number of volunteers at the time. Popular teaching subjects are:

-English

-French

-Math

-Science

-Computer literacy

-Sports

The education program is perfect for volunteers that like working with children, are very creative, can express themselves, and can keep students engaged in learning.


Education is the key to development. So why not teach what you know? The education program is for you to teach what you know the best. For example, if you are good at math you will be teaching math at a rural school. If you are knowledgeable about computers you will teach children computer skills.

Integrated Learning Experiences’ (INLEX) mission is to strengthen human resources in Central America and South America through volunteer programs, educational travel and internship opportunities.

In addition to this, INLEX provides opportunities for students and professionals to further gain experience in their field of choice by matching participants with the best opening available.

We work towards:

  • Sustainability in the projects and communities that we work in.
  • Programs that promote cultural exchange.

  • Strengthening and empowering communities.
  • Authentic experiences for our participants.
  • Facilitating education.

INLEX was set founded by former Peace Corps staff in Guatemala in 2005 who wanted to provide flexible programs for volunteers in Central America. This flexibility allows our participants the option to commit for as long as they want in the area they are best suited to support; creating a positive impact and a rewarding experience. We do this because we believe in the principle that every volunteer can make a difference.

Many years and happy people later, we continue working with key partner projects to develop communities in the Latin American region.
