VOLUNTEER IN PERU
Lima, Arequipa, Cusco

Our volunteer work projects in Peru are based on voluntary commitment and dedication at different social institutions. We offer volunteer projects in the Peruvian capital Lima, Arequipa and Cusco. Our programs will give you a great opportunity to experience the country and its culture as well as to apply and to improve your Spanish language knowledge. Furthermore, you will also show solidarity with the institutions and the people who rely on the help of others and appreciate your support. You will make an important contribution to the international understanding.

We mainly work with institutions that take care of the well-being of people in need, for example orphanages, organizations that support indigenes/Indians, institutions for handicapped children/adults, play schools, schools, hospitals, nursing homes. Environmental projects are also available.

· Frequently Asked Questions about Peru


DURATION OF THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM IN PERU


You decide about the duration of your volunteer work project in Peru. Please keep in mind the required minimum stay of three weeks in Arequipa and four weeks in Lima and Cusco.

- TOP -


WORKING HOURS AND REMUNERATION OF THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM


Your working hours depend on the volunteer institution. All volunteer work projects are full-time positions. The decision, whether to offer a remuneration or not, is up to the volunteer institution. Due to economic and social reasons in Peru, it is often not possible though to remunerate your work. The institutions mainly depend on donations themselves to be able to exist and to operate.

- TOP -


LANGUAGE COURSE IN PERU


In combination with the volunteer work projects in Peru we offer preparing language classes. A minimum four-week Spanish course is required for the participation in our volunteer program. In Arequipa there is only a two-week language course and a one-week orientation seminar required to participate in the program.

Note: Participants with very good Spanish language skills do not necessarily have to take language classes before starting the volunteer program. Please contact us for further details.

ACCOMMODATION IN PERU


In all three Peruvian cities, during your Spanish language course and your volunteer work project we offer accommodation at host families. In Lima it is also possible to stay at a shared apartment. The accommodation at host families includes half board (Lima, Arequipa) and full board (Cusco). The accommodation at shared apartments does not include any meals.

Normally the language school and the volunteer institution are in walking distance or easily reachable by bus. Shopping facilities, restaurants, nightclubs, dancing schools, cyber-cafés and fitness centers are also located close-by.
