Offered by Abrapalabra in collaboration with Spanish Latam
For non-profits working in Latin America or with Spanish-speaking communities, Spanish isn’t just a skill; it’s a tool for creating meaningful connections and driving change.
Whether you’re collaborating with local partners, engaging with communities, or advocating for social justice, speaking Spanish can transform the way you work. Our tailored Spanish courses, designed specifically for non-profits, go beyond grammar and vocabulary. Our proposal is targeted at non-profit organizations addressing issues related to gender, disability, social inequality, and cooperativism.
We aim to establish connections with various global projects, learn from them, and create new collaborative opportunities.

About Out Group Courses
Our online courses offer a communicative approach, focusing on the four linguistic skills: speaking, listening, writing, and reading. Learning alongside peers provides a friendly learning environment and allows us to create spaces where bonds between colleagues can be strengthened and our shared values can be promoted.
Our class materials cover current topics relevant to the students’ work environments and tasks. It also includes general language expressions and cultural content like music, literature, and other artistic expressions.
We emphasize pronunciation and accents, recognizing regional linguistic variations to facilitate communication with clients and peers worldwide.
