Program Description
Ecuador has a rich history and a beautiful environment. Its mountains, jungles, beaches, and of course the famous Galápagos Islands make it a sought-after destination for travelers. However, despite tremendous economic progress over the last few years, Ecuadorians are still working hard to reduce poverty and improve the livelihoods of many people across the country.

You could volunteer with children at a day care or center for youth with special needs, serve at healthcare centers in areas such as nursing, rehabilitation, or dentistry (among others!), or volunteer on environmental or wildlife conservation projects.
