Volunteer in education with children

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 live on Aquicuana on our research base and assist us with our work in the community of Warnes.

Education volunteers help teach English to children in Warnes schools. Classes are held from 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm every weekday. Classes, workshops, and other activities are welcome in this program. If you volunteer in this program, you can use the mornings to help prepare the classes or collaborate on another project. A certain level of Spanish is required for this option. SB requests a minimum commitment of one month for this project.

The classes primarily focus on teaching English, but we welcome volunteers who want to share their own interests and knowledge with the students. Classes in sports, health, art, science, music, etc., are welcome.

The education coordinator can help with planning and delivering the classes. Ideally, the volunteer will become familiar with the classes over time and eventually teach them independently.
