Volunteer in Americas

Volunteer in the Caribbean Yucatan peninsular enjoying a varied programme in and around the steamy tropical city of Merida. Help out at children’s homes, nurseries, schools and an animal shelter, there is plenty to try!

“The girls at the children’s home were really sweet and loved our visits, they even braided my hair.”

Volunteer on a Caribbean island and soak up the sun while you look after rare iguanas and help monitor their local habitats in the tropical mangrove swamps.

“If I had to sum up my time at the sanctuary, it would be that I was at home in one of the best places on earth. I can’t wait to go back!”

Stay for up to four weeks for FREE and get off the beaten tourist track in Paraguay by living a simple life with a local family. Experience washing in the stream, teaching local children and driving the ox-cart.

“It was like going back in time – but also satisfying knowing you can live without FB and Netflix!”

Two homes in a stunning city full of children are waiting for after school support. Sit and watch TV, teach a game, take the children swimming pool or teach English, there is plenty to do here.
