Internships
In the past, the UFV has arranged internships for qualified students at companies such as CNN,
Coca-Cola, Walt Disney, Motorola, Bank of America, and Warner Bros. Students with a High Intermediate or Advanced
level of Spanish are encouraged to apply for an internship; Intermediate level students who feel
confident in their Spanish may also choose to apply. All internships are arranged after
students arrive in Madrid. Normally, the internships take place during the last 2 months of the semester, to give
students time to become comfortable with their Spanish.
Volunteer Opportunities
Participation in volunteer opportunities in Madrid is an excellent way to
immerse yourself in your host country's way of life while helping those in need. In effect, this will add another dimension
to the study abroad experience through daily exposure and interactions, resulting in a
greater understanding of the language, culture, and community of the host country.
If you're interested in volunteering, simply ask your Madrid ASA Site Director for details and she
will help you find the right volunteer opportunity for you. Please note that these volunteer opportunities
are not for credit.
The following are the volunteer opportunities in which students can participate.
Please note that a minimum Intermediate level of Spanish is required in order to volunteer, as
the people involved with these organizations normally do not speak English:
Hispanic/Central American Immigrant Center, The Altius Foundation
Students have access to a wide variety of volunteer options at this Center for Immigrants:
-Provide academic support for immigrant children who are doing poorly in school. Normally, the
children are in grade school or middle school
-Perform administrative tasks important to the daily maintenance of the center
-Teach computer skills classes to immigrants
-Teach Spanish classes to immigrants who are not native Spanish speakers (this option is only
available to students who are native Spanish speakers themselves)
-Provide child care on weekends for children 4-10 years old
-The Center is always open to new ideas and suggestions for different activities!
Magdalene and Don Orione Homes Foundation
