Sustainable Bolivia is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the Bolivian Amazon that partners with local initiatives to provides resources that support ecotourism, regenerative agriculture, health and education. Volunteers/Employees live on Aquicuana on our research base and assist us with our work in the community of Warnes.

Sustainable Bolvia is in need of a teacher to take over our afterschool program. The volunteer will plan and deliver classes to children ages 5-15 at our community classroom. Attendance varies from 10-30 students at a time, with over 100 students being serve throughout the past year. Classes focus on English instruction but should include structured play, and lessons in science and conservation. Active projects such as community clean ups, gardening, bird counts, etc are encouraged. Classes occur each week day afternoon from 2-5pm. Mornings are available for prep and planning.

Upkeep of Sustainable Bolivia's social media with content about the education program is also required.

Volunteers occasionally join the program, and the teacher should be prepared to support and include volunteers in their work.
