This amazing project was created in 2010 to improve the well-being and access to education for impoverished children in the seaside town of El Porvenir. In addition to exposing students to English, volunteers work alongside local interns to provide a broad educational base and essential life skills. Volunteers work primarily with students aged 5 - 11 years, but can also assist with classes specifically for teenagers and dedicated evening sessions for adults. The program runs all year round and welcomes participants who can stay for 2 weeks or longer—some have loved it so much they've stayed for a year! Classes are held Mondays through Fridays, and volunteers typically work for 4 ½ days a week with plenty of free time to relax on the beach and explore the local area. As is common in many of the world's poorer communities, the ability to speak English and use a computer unlocks a new world of possibilities and professional pathways for children in impoverished communities when they're older, helping them break the cycle of poverty.

Operation Wallacea is a research and environmental organisation, working alongside university and college academics to build long-term datasets to put towards various conservation management goals. We recruit volunteers to help out with the data collection and train them in the skills and background that are needed to help effectively. There's also the option to complete dissertations or senior theses at our sites. The Honduras project has both a terrestrial component, based in Cusuco National Park, and a marine component, based on the islands of Utila and Tela. One of Operation Wallacea's oldest sites, there are a large number of ongoing projects, all centred around monitoring the biodiversity change in a highly endangered environment. Volunteers can get involved with everything from herpetofauna surveys to invertebrate surveys, bats, small mammals, coral, and fish, among many other things. There's also the option of doing a canopy access experience.

BECA exists to provide quality, affordable bilingual education to the educationally disenfranchised while fostering meaningful multicultural collaboration. Our model is more than an international teaching program; we distinguish ourselves by the breadth and depth of our community engagement, our dedication to fostering long-term relationships with our communities, and our commitment to ensuring that our BECA teachers are trained and supported to unleash the potential of their students and to learn from them and their families. In the school year 2016-2017, one of our long-time dreams came true—we hired a BECA graduate as a teacher! Now, half of our teaching team at each school are BECA graduates, and the other half are international volunteers. BECA invites international participants to join our volunteer teaching team each year, supporting elementary and middle school students at two local schools, San Jeronimo Bilingual School and Santa Monica Bilingual School. Don’t worry because we will be there to support you with every step along the way!

Volunteer in a community development program bringing hope, healing, and empowerment to the people of mountain villages around the community of San Matias, Honduras. Deliver and install clean water filtration systems for families, pour concrete floors in homes, teach in a local school, or assist with medical/dental clinics. Aside from having some of the region’s most extensive tropical rainforests, stunning landscapes, and abundant wildlife, Honduras boasts a rich history and culture influenced by the Mayan civilization, Spanish colonization, and Afro-Caribbean traditions. In the short week of group service, GCAC makes time to take in the beauty of the land and the people.
