The Amauta Volunteer Program provides the unique opportunity to live and work in Peru or Argentina. Students will experience first-hand the rich cultural diversity while cultivating a superior level of Spanish proficiency. Through the Volunteer Program, Amauta and the volunteers are able to make contributions to Peruvian society and to help bridge the gap between foreign visitors and native people. Participants may choose both, the field and preferred location, of their volunteer placement. Possible fields of interest include social work, education, tourism, cultural work and catering. A complete list of the projects can be sent upon request. Amauta organises an introductory meeting with general information about Peruvian history and culture, working in Peru as a foreigner, cultural differences and social hierarchy of Peruvian society. During a student's course of study, he/she will have the opportunity to personally discuss the appropriate placement in terms of goals, desired experiences etc. with the Volunteer Coordinator. During the placements, the weekly volunteer meetings enable volunteers to talk in general about their experiences and raise any concerns.
