Volunteer with Us
Build bridges across cultures.
The Intercambio Way fosters unique connections through relationship-based English classes. We are here for you every step of the way. When you volunteer with us, we equip you with our Confidence and Connections curriculum that makes teaching English easy and enjoyable. Backed by our community of teachers, plus our helpful tools and resources, you’ll feel confident and empowered in your classes.
If you are 18 years or older, live in the United States, and can commit to two 90-minute sessions per week for at least three months, join us as a volunteer teacher! With two ways to volunteer, you have the freedom to choose what works best for you. Our local program takes place in Boulder County, and our online program connects students and volunteers across the country.
