Volunteer with Yanapuma Foundation in Ecuador
Yanapuma has developed agreements with over 30 grass-roots organizations and communities across Ecuador to place volunteers where they are most needed and where they will have the best experience given their skills and preferences.
As a non-profit organization, most of what we charge for this service goes to cover the costs of maintaining contact with the organizations to ensure continuity, communicating with volunteers to set up their projects, accompanying volunteers to the projects, paying related office expenses, maintaining the website, and supporting the volunteer throughout the process of volunteering.
Whatever is left over from our Volunteer Ecuador program goes towards the work of the foundation and the projects we are carrying out with indigenous and marginalized communities around the country.
"My experiences in Ecuador far exceeded my expectations! I wish I could have stayed to volunteer for longer. The volunteer coordinaters were awesome. Keep up the good work Yanapuma!"
