Voluntary work in Bolivia is a rewarding way to experience everyday life in South America’s most remote country. Bolivia is also one of the poorest countries in South America so, by taking a career break in Bolivia, you will be making a positive contribution during your travels there. Because of its location, Bolivia attracts far fewer visitors than most other countries in South America – so voluntary work in Bolivia is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get ‘off the beaten track’ and find out what South American life is really like away from all the tourist hot-spots.
Bolivia voluntary work
All of Bolivia's voluntary work programmes are dedicated to providing help and support to some of the country’s most disadvantaged or impoverished communities. For example your Bolivia voluntary work could involve anything from caring for children in an orphanage to working at an organisation which campaigns for human rights. An added benefit of Bolivia voluntary work is that all volunteers receive Spanish tuition – which helps you get more out of your volunteer work.
Discover why so many people love Bolivia. Take Spanish lessons and learn to salsa, do some valuable volunteer work with children or animals, visit the highest city in the world, meet the indigenous Tacana people and lots more.
Give the vulnerable and disadvantaged children of Bolivia, new skills, confidence and the opportunity to have fun. Help to organise creative activities from painting and drawing to dancing and sports, volunteers can also lend a hand with the running of the centre in the kitchen, serving meals and keeping things spick and span.
Learn enough Spanish to chat with the locals, travel around South America and make your ideas understood on a volunteer programme. Cultural activities and excursions will help you get the most out of your stay.
