Program Overview

Join the NGO Support program in Quito with International Volunteer HQ and help strengthen nonprofit organizations that serve vulnerable communities across the city. As a volunteer you may assist with administrative tasks, community outreach, fundraising, communications, creating promotional materials, or supporting social media and campaign planning. Some placements also offer opportunities to help directly with childcare, youth activities, community events or social support programs depending on local needs. This variety makes the program ideal for volunteers interested in community development, social impact, or gaining experience behind the scenes in grassroots organizations.

You also receive guidance before departure along with helpful training tools to prepare you for your placement. Programs generally run Tuesday to Friday which gives you flexibility to explore Quito’s historic center, Andean landscapes and vibrant cultural scene on weekends or during free time. This is a meaningful opportunity to support local initiatives while contributing to long term community empowerment.
