constant support
Upon arrival, we will run an orientation “camp” that helps you integrate into the culture and gives you tips about the reality of Ecuador. During the orienatation campu, we provide you with all of the information about your host families, work placements, Spanish classes, safety & security specifics, and timeline of the program.
Each program has a supervisor whose role is to oversee and assist through the duration of the program. We facilitate communications between participants, host families, work placements, emergency medical care units (minor health problems will be taken care of by your host families), and we also provide support via regular emails and phone calls.
When necessary, we meet one-on-one with participants. For example, if your interests do not match the work placement reality, we can help you work it out. Or if you are having difficulties with your host family, we can provide support. Mentoring is provided according to each participant's own needs. There are also “formal evaluations” and planned visits throughout the programs.
