  Description

  You are welcome to share your skills and passion with a local community in the Amazon forest in Peru.
  It is a great opportunity to help the locals and explore this magnificent area!
  
  We are located in Iquitos, Peru, which is a port city and gateway to the jungle lodges and tribal villages of the northern Amazon.
  
  You will be working with a local NGO helping in after-school activities for kids and teens. We are a small NGO established by amazing local women. Our program is focused on empowering kids and teens through education in rural areas in the Amazon forest of Peru.
  
  This is personalized volunteering, meaning you decide with the program coordinator what position is best for you and suits your skills. The volunteering hours are flexible and are designed for your time and your volunteering program. This leaves plenty of time to explore the area and combine activities with the volunteering experience!

  Aide

  The impact you can make is enormous: Most kids come from impoverished communities waiting for the chance to study and break the cycle of poverty.
  
  Our main focuses are helping in the day-to-day classes, empowering the kids, and assisting in developing programs and workshops.
  
  There are many ways that we could use your help:
  
  *Teaching classes to the children (arts and crafts, sports, music, supporting our English teacher, supporting our math teacher, etc.)
  
  * Leading workshops for local teenagers (such as yoga, dance, health etc..)
  
  * Helping with administration and preparing teaching materials
  
  *Helping in social media and graphic design projects
  
  * supporting the local activities and event organisation
  
  * Light maintenance and building knowledge
  
  * If you are a social worker or psychologist looking for an internship
  
  This volunteering suits people who like to spend time with kids, who can create and lead projects, and who are independent and responsible.
  We also require an intermediate level of Spanish, because our teachers and kids communicate almost only in Spanish. This will ensure a better experience for you and the team.

  en savoir plus

  Pourquoi Workaway permet-il à certains hôtes de facturer des frais ?

  
  

  Workaway offre des opportunités d'échanges culturels non pécuniaires où les hôtes fournissent le logement et la nourriture en échange de l'aide des workawayers. Dans certains cas exceptionnels, des frais ou une demande de don (généralement pas plus de 5 dollars par jour) peuvent être approuvés pour des hôtes tels que les associations caritatives ayant un historique de feedbacks positifs de la part des bénévoles. Toute somme versée doit aller directement à l'organisation caritative et ne peut être utilisée que pour couvrir les frais de nourriture des bénévoles. Cela sera clairement indiqué sur le profil de l'hôte.
  

  Les annonces provenant d'agents, ou autre type d'intermédiaires, ainsi que les projets qui semblent faire des bénéfices grâce au séjour d'un bénévole sont strictement interdits. Tous les frais doivent être discutés et approuvés au préalable par l'équipe Workaway.

  5$ per day (for breakfast, coffee, tea and purified water)
