Yes, you can become a Volunteer or Intern!

We welcome individual, couple, family and group participation regardless of your age or experience level. Typically Aldeas de Paz Volunteers are dynamic, self-motivated and enthusiastic about their work. They are flexible about the kind of work that they do and able to adapt quickly to a new environment and new people.

Skills needed

You do not need special skills nor do you have to speak fluent Spanish (conversational Spanish skills are useful).

Any necessary skills will be learned on the job. It is quite possible to volunteer and learn Spanish in parallel. Most of our international volunteers have no previous experience and very little Spanish. You don't have to speak fluent Spanish as we provide full support and 24 hour back-up from on-site local staff. Adaptation is rarely a problem as we provide thorough support and free spanish language classes. If you would like further information, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
