Join thousands of Spanish teachers through The Pulsera Project's free service-learning project, where students learn about Central American communities and support them through the sale of handwoven “pulseras” made by artisans in Guatemala and Nicaragua.
This is the perfect way for Spanish Clubs, Honors Societies, and Spanish classes of all ages & proficiencies to engage with authentic Spanish content while learning about Fair Trade and Global Citizenship. Pulsera sales are 100% free and there is no requirement to sell a certain amount of pulseras.
We Send Everything You Need
We provide everything you need to bring this unique Spanish class activity to life, including a vibrant trifold photo display, informational and educational materials, videos, customizable posters, and enough pulseras (400-600) for your entire school!
No money is ever required to lead a pulsera sale, and any unsold bracelets can simply be sent back to us at the end of your sale with the pre-paid UPS label that we'll send you.
Works of Art
Each $5 pulsera is a one-of-a-kind work of art and comes tagged with the photo & signature of the artist who made it, making it super easy for students to feel a connection to the people they're supporting.
Impact Abroad & At Home
The funds raised from your pulsera sale will benefit countless Central Americans, raising money for scholarships, education programs, healthcare, human rights issues, environmental projects, and social enterprises, in addition to providing employment for 200+ artisans in Guatemala and Nicaragua.
On top of the impact abroad, pulsera sales change the lives of students in the U.S. as well, educating them about life in Central America while cultivating student leadership, global citizenship, and awareness of social impact issues, all within your Spanish classroom.
Free Educational Resources
We also offer free, authentic educational materials for Spanish classes and Spanish clubs, focusing on the artisans and communities we work with.
Students learn directly from the artists they’re empowering about poverty, fair trade, and life & culture in Central America. Our videos, autobiographies, and many other activities provide rich insight in the target language while providing meaningful context for the impact of your school's pulsera sale. ​
Join the Color Revolution
Over 3,800 schools in all 50 states have colored their classrooms and hallways with pulseras and the stories behind them, each one made in Central America by fair trade cooperatives, artisan families, and independent artisans in Nicaragua & Guatemala.
