BridgeVolunteers
Infant Care Program in Santiago, Chile
As a volunteer with our Chile Infant Care Program, you will be working at an orphanage and shelter for babies and toddlers in the heart of Santiago. Often orphaned or abandoned by their families, these young children are placed in the protective custody of our partner organization in Chile. The children live in the shelter until they are adopted or placed with family members that can take better care of them.

English Opens Doors Program—Chilean Ministry of Education
The English Opens Doors Program, an initiative of the Chilean Ministry of Education and the United Nations Development Programme-Chile, seeks volunteers to teach English in public schools throughout the country. EOD provides all volunteers with room and board with a host family, a monthly stipend, online Spanish course, all-expenses paid orientation and more! All volunteers must pay 100.00 USD a month for comprehensive international health insurance and related costs (total monthly stipend payments typically outweigh the costs of this contribution). Couples are welcome!
