Volunteer in Venezuela
Make a positive impact while learning new skills and interacting with the community
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 various community programs. Programs are based in schools, public centers and community areas in the village as well as the on Aldeas de Paz 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. Free Spanish language classes are provided.
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.

Every
volunteer & intern has the opportunity to be involved in as many or as few of our programs and they would like. We encourage interns to form schedules which work for them, and to work in any combination of programs. 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 interns
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.
Past Intern Projects
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. Read more about our
NGO Administration program for
example. In fact any program can be booked as internship. We work in close contact with your school and make sure that requirements are met. After completion we issue
certificates and references.
