BUNAC offers volunteer work in Peru in various community volunteering projects, giving you the chance to experience the culture, the people and improve your Spanish.
What Volunteer work in Peru can I do?
We’re looking for volunteers in South America who will contribute to projects in communities where help is most needed.
At a one-to-one UK orientation interview we’ll discuss your skills, experience and of course, preferences to ensure that you’re assigned to the right project for you.
In Peru volunteers are needed in a variety of project areas. Through an ongoing series of joint initiatives involving the local people, BUNAC volunteers help communities to help themselves. Click on the box below to find a project you’re interested in.
How long can I go for?
Our Volunteer Peru placements last either 8 or 12 weeks and include a three-day arrival orientation.
You’ll have the chance to travel at weekends but to make the most of this fantastic country why not leave some time at the end of your programme to explore further afield?
Where will I be working?
Our projects are based on the outskirts of both Lima and Cusco.
This gives volunteers the chance to experience living and working in a Peruvian community with access to the facilities of the city.
Who will I be working with?
We place volunteers in existing projects, working alongside local people.
Our volunteer in South America programme is essentially designed to provide independent experiences which promote integration with the local people. You may also be working alongside another international volunteer.
Where will I be living?
As part of our ‘Local Approach’, we believe that living with a host family is the best way for volunteers to become fully immersed into the local culture. It’s also the perfect way to improve your Spanish.
You’ll be placed with a family in a community in either Lima or Cusco. Your host will welcome you into their family and help you to settle into the local area. You might be living with another volunteer.
Houses are well equipped and will have electricity and running water. Enjoying home-cooked food, sharing stories and life experiences will give you a unique and memorable experience and will provide you with a great opportunity to improve your Spanish.
When is the next volunteer Peru arrival date?
The next available arrival date for volunteer work in Peru is March 11th 2010.
