Volunteer Work Program in Peru
Peru
Durations of Program: 1-2 weeks, 2-4 weeks, 5-8 weeks and 3-6 months
Typical Duration of Program: 2-4 weeks
Description:
You will never forget this unique experience! You help our society, you close the big gap between Peruvians and foreigners. Volunteers practice their language skills during the day and improve them without studying. It is like an exchange; you learn from the Peruvians and they, on the other side, are curious about your country. For you as a volunteer, this means gaining very helpful life and work experiences that you probably won't find in your country of residence. You discover our culture in a different way than you would in a classroom. Our volunteers meet a lot of local residents, and become friends for their whole life.
Qualifications:
Anyone can participate. You should be interested and motivated to give something, to help our society. You don't have to bring experience with you, you will make it here. Your Spanish level should allow you to hold a conversation, thus you need an intermediate Spanish level. We recommend at least 4 weeks of Spanish classes.
