About Program
Rescate de Calle is a street outreach program that works with disadvantaged children. The organization works to provide pres-school education, inform families about CENIT's programs, and pave the way for children to enter formalized schooling.
Rescate aims to prevent these kids from being ignored. We want to restore and promote the rights of vulnerable and working children in Quito’s poorest market sectors. The children we work with accompany their parents in the markets all day and do not receive the attention and intellectual stimulation necessary for their social and mental development.
As a Rescate volunteer, you will work in 1 of the 2 markets we serve to create a safe space for pre-school children. We want them to enjoy educational and age-appropriate activities, improve their motor skills and develop basic hygienic habits. We are looking for energetic and enthusiastic volunteers who love working with children and can take initiative.
