Is there a particular season(s) when volunteers are more needed?
There’s always something constructive to do. Many volunteers spend at least part of their time teaching English, though, and schools do shut down for all of December. The school year is Jan – Nov. There are three major holidays in El Salvador when volunteer projects generally take a break: Easter (including Holy Week, the week before Easter), El Salvador del Mundo (the first week in August), and Christmas (December 24-January 2). Many volunteers, just like Salvadorans, take this time to travel around or go to the beach.
