Description
This is a nonprofit located on the northern coast of Peru in Salaverry . Here we provide free surf, sand boarding and English classes for kids who do not have access to these opportunities due to their socio-economic status among other things. We are dedicated to uplifting the community by focusing on empowering the younger generation and providing children with opportunities that they may not have had otherwise. We provide them with a safe-space that promotes a positive lifestyle that can help prevent kids from getting into trouble and focus on enabling them socially, emotionally and intellectually.
In addition we engage in beach clean-ups, and other environmental and community building projects.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will have the ability to be immersed in Peruvian culture and create meaningful and long-lasting relationships with kids in the area. Some of the kids we work with lead very different lives and have lived through experiences that may be very different than your own. This can really help to broaden your world view and provide a very enriching experience overall. In addition, you will get to know people from all over the world who volunteer with us or other nonprofits and who come to the area on vacation. There are plenty of opportunities to become apart of the Salaverry/Huanchaco (surf) community and make new friends and experiences.

What else ...
Peru is known as one of the culinary capitals of the world, so there is no doubt you will enjoy the cheap yet delicious food here in the northern coast of Peru. There are also numerous historical sites nearby such as Huaca de la Luna y Sol y Chan Chan. In Peru, it is very easy and cheap to travel by bus, so it is easy for volunteers to go on trips over the weekend to visit more of Peru and see the mountains, jungle, historical sites, desert or more beautiful beaches.
