Volunteer with Ecuadorian childrenVolunteering in Ecuador is an unmatched opportunity to get to know the country and its people on a personal level and work side by side with Ecuadorians on locally designed and driven projects.

Location

Placements are made throughout Ecuador in national parks, the capital city Quito, the Amazon jungle, the Ecuadorian highlands, and the Galapagos Islands.*

* There is a slightly higher fee for accommodation in the Galapagos. 

Housing

Accommodation is with caring, thoroughly screened host families, who provide room and full board (three meals daily).

Orientation

You will be met at the airport and will receive a personal orientation within the first few days of your arrival. A staff member in Ecuador will be available to you throughout your program.

 

Spanish Language Classes
