Join
International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, on the Teaching English project in
Cuzco or
Lima. You will have the opportunity to lead lessons in schools or community centers in Peru. Volunteers gain teaching experience while giving Peruvian students the invaluable chance to learn from a fluent English speaking teacher who can answer their questions and provide authoritative guidance with all aspects of language learning.
Cuzco offers
start dates every Monday throughout the year. Lima offers start dates on the first and third Monday of each month.
While volunteer schedules depend on the particular projects and placements, a typical day might look like this:
8:00 AM Breakfast with your host family.
9:00 AM Leave the homestay and travel to your placement, where you will be given a structure sheet and a plan for your work.
12:00 PM Lunch at a local restaurant.
1:00 - 6:00 PM Work at the placement usually ends. You are free to travel back to your accommodation, go sightseeing or take Spanish lessons.
7:00 PM Dinner with your host family.
Weekends are left for free time and exploration.
This program ranges from 1-24 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. Volunteers on Cuzco-based projects will be accommodated in either a dorm-style volunteer house or a homestay with a local host family. In Lima, you’ll stay in a volunteer house run by the local coordinator’s family or in a homestay.
