Would you like to study, work or travel through Chile?

The Chile-Canada Youth Mobility Program offers, every year, the possibility for young people to work, study, and/or travel to Chile.

In June of 2008 the Governments of Chile and of Canada signed a Memorandum of Understanding concerning youth mobility, intending to increase opportunities for their young nationals to acquire university or college education, employment experience or practical workplace experience, and to improve their knowledge of the other country’s languages, culture, and society and thereby promote mutual understanding between the two countries.

World Wide Opportunities On Organic Farms (WWOOF) is a world wide network where volunteers (wwoofers) live and learn on organic properties. WWOOF volunteers offer their help on the farm and in return they learn about biological farming and local culture. Food and accomodation are provided.

WWOOF Chile MR offers a list with near 70 organic farms. The list will be sent by e-mail and it may be asked for and paid for here.

There are two options:

- Single List, to be used by one person. It costs US$40

- Couple List, that can be used by 2 persons travelling together and staying in the same farm. It costs US$55.

Credit card payment can be made through "PayPal" or "Dinero Mail"

WWOOF Chile works from 2002, and it has a lot of new farms registered, so the “WWOOF culture” is new to many growers.

The English Opens Doors Program (Programa Inglés Abre Puertas) was created in 2003 by the Chilean Ministry of Education. Supported by the United Nations Development Programme – Chile, English Opens Doors works to improve English-language education throughout the Chilean public school system by providing teacher training, instructional materials, language competitions, English immersion camps, and study abroad scholarships for university students. English Opens Doors seeks to foster a new generation of Chilean students equipped with the tools and abilities they will need to succeed in an increasingly globalized world.

Since 2004, English Opens Doors’ flagship initiative has been its Volunteer Program, which recruits native and near-native English speakers to come to Chile and work as teaching assistants in Chilean classrooms. Volunteers teach and encourage the study of English while living with Chilean host families and interacting with members of the local community. Since the program’s start, more than 1,500 volunteers have participated in English Opens Doors’ full and part time volunteer programs, with the number of volunteers enrolling each year increasing steadily.

In 2009, the English Opens Doors became part of the expanded Languages Open Doors Program. Now, in addition to the study of English, the Ministry of Education has set its sights on extending French, German, and Mandarin Chinese language education to the students of Chile. Already native Mandarin and German speakers have begun volunteering throughout the country, and Languages Opens Doors hopes to continue expanding and building on its successes into the coming years.
