opportunities
In addition to short-term volunteer options,
Aldeas de Paz also
offers internships. Interns generally come for 2-8 months and
contact Aldeas de Paz well in advance to inform us of the
conditions under which they are doing their internship and the
requirements of their university or academic advisor.
Aldeas de Paz is very happy to be in communication with academic
institutions and to provide all materials and references
necessary for interns to receive course credit for their
volunteer work. Certificates are also provided to all interns
upon successful completion of their internships. 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 beauty in interning lies in the
fact that you are not simply passing through as a tourist.
You are interacting with the community, building
relationships and making a positive impact. It is an
experience that may well change your life! Interning is a
great way to experience another culture, make new friends
and learn new skills.
Interns and Volunteers are the driving
force of Aldeas de Paz's work, both through their
volunteering and through their financial contributions.
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.
The typical Intern
A typical Intern 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 interns 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.

We have currently various community programs underway and run by volunteers.
Intern programs are based in schools, public centers and community
areas in the village as well as on Aldeas de Pazs`s foundations grounds where we work with
the long term expectation of opening a large multi-faceted
Therapy Center soon. Interns & Volunteers, through their donations and
through work done on the Foundations grounds are helping us to create this center
(see our spending breakdown for more information on where your money goes).
We encourage interns to form schedules which work for them, and to work in any
combination of programs. Interns decide how many hours they want
to work. We recommend a minimum of 3 hours daily for 4 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!
