Language & Career
You work on real projects in Spanish the whole time you are here. Most students tell us their fluency and their confidence at work climb faster than they expected once the language stops being something they think about.
Cultural Programming
Explore Chilean and Latin American culture and history through excursions and talks by faculty and invited experts.
In Their Words
What our students say.
“My Spanish improved a lot, in both fluency and complexity. Working in technical settings, I picked up immigration, political, and legal vocabulary, and I could hold a real conversation with people from every kind of background in Chile.”AGFP Intern
“I learned more about Chilean politics and the social and political needs of its citizens. Highlights included collaborating on government funding applications, meeting the Governor, and supporting the Smart City Expo.”Minerva García · Harvard College student
“My understanding of Latin American culture deepened by exposing me to new people, histories, and languages I had never explored. Latin America hosts a diverse array of cultures that is truly irreducible.”Dulce Gonzalez · Harvard College student
Where You Will Live
A home with a Chilean host family.
We work with an experienced housing coordinator to place students with families we know and trust. Living with a family is a big part of the program. It is where a lot of the language sticks, and where a lot of the friendships come from.
