Join
International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the
Medical Outreach Volunteer Program in Peru.
On this program, you will assist with regular medical campaigns that aim to widen the reach of public health in Lima.

You’ll stay in a volunteer house run by the local coordinator’s family or in a homestay.
The program has
start dates on the first and third Monday of the month throughout the year.
This program ranges from 1-12 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available
on our website.
