Volunteer in Guatemala or Mexico with One, Two… Tree!

One, Two… Tree! was founded in 2013 with a mission to offer better educational opportunities, and therefore also a more promising future, to children in need all over Central America. We opened our first project in Nicaragua, where the NGO’s impact rapidly grew over the following 6 years, up until 2019, when, with heavy hearts, we made the difficult decision to close it due to political unrest.

Luckily, we were able to apply our learnings from Nicaragua to our projects in Guatemala and Mexico, established in 2017 and 2019 respectively. Both of these are currently thriving, and we’re looking forward to extending our reach to the Dominican Republic in the near future.

All of us at One, Two… Tree! are volunteers, and we live and breathe education, as for many children around the world it is the only tool that can open up the road towards a better future. That’s why we work with local governments and public schools to provide high-quality English classes to students who otherwise would not be able to access them.

What they are looking for:

We are looking for enthusiastic individuals with a passion for teaching to join our teams in Guatemala and Mexico.

The role:

Volunteers need to commit to at least 16 teaching hours per week, with additional time set aside for preparation.

You will receive our full support while at the post. We will provide basic training and teaching materials upon your arrival, weekly progress reviews and regular assistance from our Volunteer Coordinator. We are extremely open to feedback; in fact, we encourage personal initiative, and would love to work with you on maximizing the impact you can make in this role. That’s why we’re looking for self-starters who are passionate about education and eager to make a difference.
