    In order to serve in Bolivia as a volunteer Spanish is recommended to make the most of this experience. Serve Abroad runs a Language School that offers a program for each student so that they can use their Spanish in Bolivia and in the future in their home countries. Each program will enable students to take any Spanish as a Second Language test at any university in any foreign country so that they can receive credits for their knowledge and use of Spanish. It will also increase the amount of working opportunities in their home countries and abroad where Spanish needs to be spoken besides the national language. The more sessions they have, the more opportunities, students will have.

    Serve Abroad can arrange Spanish classes around the volunteer’s schedule so that both things can be done at the same time. Classes can also be spread out during the time volunteers will be in Bolivia.
