About Us

NALCAP is a public diplomacy program sponsored by the Education Office of the Embassy of Spain in the United States and the Ministry of Education of Spain.

American citizens are offered the possibility to serve in classrooms across Spain to encourage students of all ages to broaden their knowledge of the world in general and the United States in particular. As cultural ambassadors, American grant recipients share their language and cultural throughout the education system of Spain. At the same time, the program offers recipients the opportunity to immerse themselves in the language and culture of Spain. NALCAP provides an enriching cultural experience for everyone involved.

The program is handled by various offices. For a better understanding of what each one does at each moment of the process, please refer to the infographic below.
