Colombia is a vibrant and culturally rich country in South America, known for its welcoming people and breathtaking diversity—from tropical rainforests and mountain ranges to historic cities and coastal towns. With over 50 million residents, it is a place of both modern energy and deep-rooted traditions. Despite significant strides in tourism and trade, Colombia still contends with social and economic challenges, particularly in rural areas. Volunteering here offers a chance to contribute meaningfully while gaining a deeper understanding of local life. Volunteer placements are based in Cartagena and offer a variety of focus areas: • Cultural Orientation Week • Teaching & Education • Kindergarten • STEM Education • Spanish Lessons • Construction Volunteers are supported with daily meals, accommodation, airport pickup, and 24/7 assistance. This experience offers both personal growth and the opportunity to make a tangible impact in local communities.
