Volunteers in Action across Ecuador in Latin America

Ecuador warmly welcomes people from diverse cultures, nationalities, abilities, and backgrounds interested in providing humanitarian aid and working on social action projects to benefit the most vulnerable sectors of Ecuador. As an ELEP volunteer, you can make a real difference in the lives of thousands of Ecuadorians and make a genuine contribution to this part of the world. This is a life-changing experience for you and the people in Ecuador where you work.

Our program of Volunteers in Action is designed to give people (individuals or groups) an experience of community services in a cross-cultural setting. ELEP Volunteer and Internship Programs offer short and long-term (2 – 24 weeks) opportunities across Ecuador (rural and urban communities). Projects are diverse, such as teaching, childcare, healthcare, elderly care, HIV/AIDS, human rights, legal aid, construction, nature conservation, animal welfare, veterinary medicine, and so on. You only need to be a dedicated, motivated, creative, and flexible person.
