What do you get in this project?  

The project consists of Good Team setting up a series of our language learning programs in your communities. These programs last indefinitely once set up, providing years of impact for your community. The number of programs and the details of the programs depend on your preferences and the budget. We can help charities, kids in schools, even adults and teachers to learn English.

How will this help? 

1. Direct language assistance

Most obviously, this will quickly help the students in the program learn English, which can open up many opportunities for them. 

2. Indirect, exponential language assistance

When more people in a group, class, or community speak English, they can practice and teach each other. This is especially true if we help the teachers with their English. 

3. Positive Publicity

Programs like this are a new and exciting use of technology. These could lead to nice news stories promoting your region as a leader in innovation, and the officials as doing something to improve the lives their constituents.

1. Possible tourism 

Especially for larger programs, we can make an effort to highlight unique attributes of your region, possibly leading to people visiting or even in-person exchanges between the volunteers and students. 

1. Possible donations 

Once we create a relationship between your communities and the communities of volunteers, deep bonds often develop quickly and other forms of assistance can come as a result (financial donations, electronics equipment etc). 

What does it cost?

We can tailor a program to any budget over $100,000 MXN, which would be a smaller group of programs in one town or school. That range goes all the way to $1,000,0000 MXN, with which we would create a thriving genuine between your region and a specifically chosen region of volunteers in the United States. In this example we would focus on not just the program but a full cultural exchange celebrating and promoting your region to new parts of the world, and displaying innovation the local officials are utilizing to help the people. 

How does production happen? 

Part of the setup happens remotely, but it is important that we come to the physical location of these programs as well. Through meeting and talking with the people directly, we are better able to understand their needs, and by seeing the spaces where these programs will exist, we can better address any logistical hurdles and achieve maximum impact . If there is not enough budget to cover an in-person visit, these projects can be completely remotely, but it is better if we can be there in person for at least part of the set up process. 

What type of organization is Good Team? 

We are currently securing our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in the United Stats and our Association Civil status in Mexico. 

Where will the volunteers come from?

It depends on your preferences and needs. Some may be from schools, companies, churches and community groups of charities. Where they eventually come from will be decided after we learn the needs of your project, then we find the perfect groups of volunteers to fit that. 

How does this differ from our other programs made by Good Team? 

The sessions are the exact same. But we make the programs from the perspective of the group setting up the program. So if the company sets up the program, we go to their time zone, the regions and demographics that they prefer, and customize everything for them. For this version, we focus on the community’s needs and presence and build the program from that perspective.  

What is required of the school?

The school must have a computer and internet. Obviously we want to help those who need it most, and in many cases those people do not have these things, but it is a reality of the program that a computer and internet are required. In the future we would like to discover ways of providing computers, but for now there are still many worth charities and schools, with students in great need of this type of program, that do have these resources.

What is required of the students?

This program can help kids as young as 5, all the way to grown adults. The details and curriculum will change slightly depending on the age, but the general idea is the same. And while these lessons work best for those who already speak a little bit of English, if the students know little or none, the program still works. We simply find volunteers who speak some Spanish :)
