Social program

 

Academia Latina donates a substantial part of it´s profit to charity. By studying at our school you help the underprivileged children of Santa Marta and Taganga.

 

Academia Latina works together with foundation Más. Foundation Más selected the village of Taganga as a location for its offices due the village’s small size and many social problems. The students of Academia Latina can serve as volunteers for the projects of foundation Más to benefit the village of Taganga and its inhabitants. In the near future there will be volunteering options in Santa Marta as well.

 

Volunteering

 

Academia Latina offers a flexible, interactive and reciprocal (mutual) volunteering program free of charge to the beneficiaries. We create a link between sharing knowledge and supporting. We offer short, medium and long term volunteering options.

 

You can help out with sport projects, teaching English, clean environment projects, music or health projects, help out with home work and much more. Visit the webpage www.foundationmas.com for more details.
