Volunteer Teach in Honduras 2019 - 2020 (room & board included) BECA’s mission is to provide quality bilingual education to the educationally disenfranchised while fostering meaningful cultural exchange. Our model is built on a partnership between Hondurans committed to quality, progressive education and international volunteers interested in a truly meaningful cultural collaboration. BECA recruits English-speaking volunteers to fill teaching positions at our three unique bilingual schools in Honduras. The Classroom Teacher is a team member who plays an integral role in the bilingual education of our students.

Under a strong Catholic faith, the children are loved by all, knowing that they have a forever home. ADJ is a self-sustainable community with its own Catholic chapel, lumber mill, family-style homes, farm animals, and robust vegetable gardens. Our ADJ volunteers live and work on-site at ADJ. While volunteers do not have to be of any faith or religion to teach there, the community is one grounded in the Catholic faith. When BECA volunteers teach at ADJ, they never want to leave. It is an incredibly spiritual and truly beautiful community.
