About Program
At Projects Abroad, we’re passionate about travel with a purpose. Since being founded in 1992, more than 120,000 volunteers have traveled to Peru and 20+ other destinations around the world.
With an extensive coastline, a vast area of Amazon rainforest, and the Andes, Peru gives you the opportunity to visit South America and see much of its character in one country: wildlife, beaches, historical sites, and mountains.
We have exciting, worthwhile projects for you to join - our Archaeology project to learn more about the Incan & Wari civilization, work in the heart of the Amazon in our Rainforest Conservation program, or help improve the lives of local children in a Childcare or Sports project. You can also intern in Medicine & Healthcare fields to boost your resume!
Whichever program you choose, you’ll be supported by our dedicated staff and partners who make sure that all our volunteers contribute towards achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Response from
Dear Shannon. Thanks for sharing! We are indeed very flexible in terms of dates and projects. It's great that you were able to join us in Peru over your Spring Break. This is such a unique project and volunteers' help is much needed and appreciated. The cost of the program does include a lot more than what may be at the sight, so not only does it include the arrangement of your project, housing, insurance and food, but also the support from our staff 24/7, the partnership with the reserve, materials, training and workshop, and so much more! You do get a discount as a member of our alumni community so hopefully you can join us again in another one of our projects soon!
