Peru is an amazing destination to work with children in kindergartens and care homes in South America. Located on the Pacific Coast of South America between Chile and Ecuador, Peru is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Latin America. Exports such as coffee, potatoes, and gold have done much to improve unemployment, but low wages mean that many families still live in poverty, and especially in more rural areas, there is a real need for volunteers to help with caring for children. You will assist the class supervisor in all kinds of play-work activities, such as arts and crafts, painting, and teaching reading and writing. You may wish to develop projects with the children using your interests in music, sports, or drama, take a more observational role, or lend the children support by providing friendship and assistance. Volunteers work alongside local teachers to develop resources and classroom activities to make the lessons more interesting. We aim for volunteers to contribute to the resources at the kindergarten during their placement, building up a bank of information that the teachers can use in their lessons.

With Volunteering Journeys’ English Teaching Programs Abroad, you can inspire young minds, build confidence, and open opportunities for children and adults across Peru, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and the Maldives. Whether you’re a student on a gap year, a certified teacher, or simply a fluent English speaker looking to make a difference, teaching abroad is one of the most rewarding ways to contribute to global education while immersing yourself in fascinating cultures. In many developing regions, English proficiency opens the door to education, employment, and better economic opportunities. However, limited resources and teacher shortages often leave students without access to quality English education. By joining Volunteering Journeys’ teaching programs, you’ll help bridge this gap. You’ll work in local schools, community centers, or after-school programs — improving English literacy, conversational confidence, and cultural awareness.
