Through GCAC, volunteers are introduced to Teaching English as a Second Language, working alongside Cali's Colegio Americano faculty. This short-term program lasts only a few days, but the hours are packed with learning inside and outside the classroom. Children and youth from pre-kindergarten through high school hear from GCAC volunteers on a wide variety of subjects including United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (a foundational aspect of all of our GCAC programs). When the final bell rings each day, the discoveries continue as some of those same English teachers become guides to the vibrant city of Cali. Delicious food, firsthand stories of cultural heritage, and natural wonders are all part of the itinerary for this all-inclusive, week-long experience.
