A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Cusco
Projects & Placements
You do not need to know Spanish to volunteer in Cusco, since tourism is so strong here, not only will many people speak English, but they will prefer to speak with you in English so they can practice. Don’t worry, if you are hoping to learn Spanish you will not have a problem practicing in the markets, with locals, and especially in the surrounding area.
Teaching English. There are many volunteer placements in Cusco centered on teaching English. Even if it is not the main event, there will typically be some aspect of English teaching included. You may even teach onsite representatives that are affiliated with the organization you are volunteering in Cusco with. You will have a lot to learn from one another in more ways then one. Most teaching placements in Cusco require a 20 to 30 hour a week commitment and most volunteer opportunities will be with young children or in elementary schools.
NonProfit Support. This can cover the whole spectrum from construction to office work. Nonprofits are typically able to use your skill set and put them to work in some capacity. You could work in web development, construction, or work in a school. This is a great area to be involved with because it is so tailorable. It is a good way to do skilled volunteering abroad in Cusco, which is a growing area in the international volunteering industry. This type of volunteer work in Cusco will also lead to a more applicable way of showcasing your experience on your resume. If you are interested in Project Management, Intercultural Relations, or working in the NGO/nonprofit sector, this is a great way to get started. It is also a good way to get involved with volunteer providers because many hire alumni.
Public Health. Volunteers can work in local clinics helping staff or in schools spreading awareness of good health practices. Areas that are typically covered include hygiene, sexual health, and basic nutrition. These items may seem like common knowledge to Westerners, but these subjects are not included in curriculum in Peru traditionally.
Individuals can volunteer in Cusco for one week to one year, but the average length of stay is around four weeks.
