Socially engaged - Voluntary Work and internships

This is a great opportunity to get involved, get an idea of the social issues in Peru, exchange ideas and use the Spanish you've learned, in a practical setting.

Depending on availability, Spanish level and the period you would like to work, you could work in
- Afterschool projects with primary school kids
- Revalidation centers (kids and adults)
- Medical Clinics
- Drug adictos
- Women shelter
- Orphanages
- Special education
- Old peoples homes
- A shelter for drug and alcohol addicts
- Travel agencies
- Kindergarten
- Animalshelter
- Primary and secundary schools

A full time volunteer coordinator will give you information on the available projects, will introduce you and guide you throughout your work. It is also possible to do an internship for college, as a social worker, in pedagogy, tourism or in a medical field, such as psychology, physiotherapy, general medicine, pediatrics etc. The students get credit for these internships from university all over the world. The most of the projects have a minimum working period of 4 weeks. Also you have to have at least a basic level of Spanish. If you want to work as a professional or do your internship a higher level is required. Also the projects require you to buy your own material, since they often do not have the money to buy it.
