Puerto Rico Volunteer Programs | Most Affordable & Trusted

My experience in Puerto Rico was very rewarding. I chose to work to benefit the environment. IVHQ opens up the world. You have a choice of where in the world to volunteer and a choice of types of jobs. I helped the local team in Puerto Rico cut down invasive plants in a public park, helped them in the Urban Garden, planting indigenous trees, hauling compost, and more. This was an enriching experience for someone interested in trees, plants and flowers. I learned so much not only about botanicals but also about the issues with development and conservation, as well as having the opportunity to ask questions to become more informed about local history.

The people from the volunteer organization were very kind and eager to explain to us what they do. We maintained the community garden, took care of the plants, picked up trash, etc. Puerto Rico is a safe and relaxing place. The days spent facing the environment and plants and then spending free time on the beach afterwards were great! It was my first time to volunteer in a foreign country, but the staff was very supportive and I did not feel uneasy about participating by myself. Recommended for people who love the sea.

I loved volunteering in Puerto Rico via the IVHQ organization. They provided all of the resources and tools necessary for a successful cultural experience. From assigned locations and duties, the Airport pickup, and the arranged outings, the whole experience opened up a world of future opportunities. I was placed in an English Speaking classroom wherein the students spoke minimal English and were instructed by a certified school teacher who was bilingual. I observed and assisted the Head teacher with the daily classroom assignments and learned a little about the culture and the Educational system. I plan on returning one day for a longer period of time. At any rate, it was definitely an enlightening opportunity and I would encourage others to volunteer to assist in some way through one of the available IVHQ programs.

I couldn't recommend this volunteering programme enough! For anyone looking to make instant impacts in environmental conservation, whilst meeting amazing people, then this is the place for you. I was greeted by the amazing Estefania, she ensured that my trip went as smoothly as possible and was always there if I needed anything. A huge shoutout to Juan and Yvette, they made the experience one that I will never forget. They were so helpful, letting me get stuck in with whatever I was comfortable doing and always made sure that they were taking the time to educate us. It was one of the best experiences of my life and I highly recommend :)

The trip was very rewarding. The project that I was assigned was clearly outlined before I arrived at the destination. I enjoyed the hostel and the local community. The environment of the location was pleasant and I was able to be immersed in their culture. The volunteering projects had a short and long-term impact on the future of the organization's mission. I had a good work-life balance and the organization I was working for was very accommodating to the volunteer's needs. I was able to explore the community and the coordinator provided excellent trips. I highly recommend IVHQ for planning and I feel comfortable in the future booking with IVHQ. The company does the heavy lifting and planning to make sure you are with the best local team to walk you through the ropes of the program. The team also goes above and beyond and cares about all the volunteers.
