Volunteering can be the experience of a lifetime and for some people it is a life changing experience.

They offer an affordable way for you to experience a foreign country while lending a hand. Their variety of community volunteer positions provide you with the opportunity to make new friends, define a new career, develop new skills, and share your skills with others. Short term volunteers are a crucial part of their program allowing you to fulfill the needs of a variety of children’s centers scattered around the region. These centers provide services for children. Long term volunteers are those who stay with them more than five months, speak intermediate Spanish, and are specialized volunteers who have an expertise that matches their Bolivian colleague’s needs. Many long term volunteers contribute in a collaboratively designed volunteer position such as helping in the office, translating, and working with the Bolivian staff.
