A great way to experience another culture
A great way to experience another culture
The beauty in volunteering lies in the fact that you are not simply passing through as a tourist. Experience Venezuela through our community programs based in schools, public centers and community areas in the village as well as the Foundations Grounds. Volunteers are helping us to create a great community - through their donations and through volunteer work.
I found myself spending whole mornings thinking out lesson plans that might engage the students and was continually delighted at how attentive, enthusiastic and interested the students were in lessons. It felt incredible how quickly I struck up a relationship with the students learning as much, if not more from them, as they did from me.

The typical Volunteer
A typical volunteer needs to be enthusiastic, willing to learn, ready for a challenge, has a desire to take initiative and dedicates a lot of caring and passion to the position. Friendliness, care, commitment and patience are among important qualities. We welcome individual volunteers, families and groups regardless of age, experience or background. You don't have to speak fluent Spanish as we provide full support and 24 hour back-up from our local staff. Every week we provide 16 Spanish language classes. We focus on conversational skills and cultural immersion!

If this entry makes its way on the internet and you are considering volunteering here, if you can give a time commitment of a couple of weeks the benefit to both you and the beneficiaries will be really worth while.

Specialize or Diversify
Every volunteer & intern has the opportunity to be involved in as many or as few activities they would like. We encourage volunteers and interns to form schedules which work for them.
Volunteers decide how many hours they want to
work. We recommend a minimum 3 days a week. You may work as much as 5
days and as many hours you wish.
We emphasize that we focus on excellence and not on quantity.
Why we need volunteers
Volunteers - The driving Force
Volunteers are the driving force of Aldeas de Paz' work, both through their volunteering and through their financial contributions.
Volunteering & Interning with us is a great opportunity to work side by side with locals, learn new skills, study Spanish, and immerse oneself in the Latin and indigenous culture.

Why Intern?
Our
NGO Administration program is particularly appealing to interns, however any of our programs can be done as internships.
Costs are the same as for volunteers.
The structure of your internship depends greatly on your school requirements.
We work in close contact with your school and make sure that requirements are met
and certificates and references are issued.
