This placement would suit... Lattitude placements suit individuals with a can-do attitude who are willing to make the most of their placement and above all enjoy it.
![]() Lattitude is providing a rare opportunity to teach music in Cuenca, the third largest city of Ecuador located in the Ecuadorian Andes. The city's cobblestone streets, towering cathedrals, and marble and whitewashed buildings give it a colonial air unequaled in Ecuador. These distinctions, along with the city's incredibly preserved history, recently earned Cuenca the honor of being listed as a UNESCO World Heritage The placement is in the “Conservatorio de Musica”, music conservatoire, to teach music to children and young adults. Volunteers assist with the teaching and are allocated their own students. It is also possible to sing in the Conservatoire choir and to audition for a Symphony Orchestra There is also the possibility of teaching dance. It is an extremely vibrant place, for young people of all backgrounds; a somewhat chaotic but lively atmosphere and Lattitude volunteers have found it both challenging and enjoyable Qualities & skills requiredAn ability to speak Spanish is desirable, however if you have no Spanish but are willing to learn, you may also be considered.
Having arranged my gap year through Lattitude, a non-profit organisation, I was informed I would be volunteering in Quito, Ecuador for six months, teaching Music in a primary school and working with a street children project in the afternoons - whilst at the same time living with an Ecuadorian family. But what followed during my gap year in South America was so much more than I could have imagined.
