Job Description

Peru is filled with friendly people and is one of our most popular volunteer destinations. Ancient ruins and breathtaking landscapes pepper the region, and the society is as complex as the woven tapestries that abound at the market. While staying with host families in Cusco or Lima, you will get a firsthand look at the political and economic issues that impact locals on a daily basis. Whether this will be your first out-of-country volunteer experience or your hundredth, the warmth and kindness of Peru’s people will make you feel at home.
As a volunteer in Peru, you contribute to social change by working at a wide range of community centers in Lima or Cusco. Partnerships with after-school programs, women’s shelters, and youth organizations allow you to build relationships and leave a lasting impression on the lives of those you meet.

Volunteers work with organizations that help children and teenagers stay in school as well as, public schools. Tasks may include creating or running workshops for language, computer, sports or music instruction. Volunteers enjoy teaching English, math, or music/art lessons. Volunteers at these projects motivate children to not only continue their education but, invest in themselves.
