Quito

Durations of Program: 2-4 weeks and 5-8 weeks
Typical Duration of Program: 5-8 weeks
Dates: Throughout the year (minimum of 4 weeks)

Description: This lush and tropical country is waiting for your contributions!

We cooperate with different organizations in the capital Quito which work towards the advocacy and rights of children, women and low-income communities.

Further we have partnered with organizations that focus on ecological and environmental projects such as wildlife rehabilitation and conservation and resource sustainability.

The institutions mainly depend on donations themselves to be able to exist and to operate. In turn the decision, whether to pay remuneration or not, is completely up to the institution.

In combination with the volunteer work in Ecuador we offer preparing language courses. A two-week Spanish course is required for the participation in our programs. Part-time volunteering is available during you language course.
