Join International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the Environmental Sustainability Volunteer Project in Puerto Rico.

On this program, you will assist with a wide range of tasks that contribute to the recovery and protection of San Juan’s beautiful natural environment. Volunteers gain conservation experience, learn about the challenges climate change presents for island nations, and help to create a sustainable future for Puerto Rico.

You will be accommodated with other volunteers in one of two public hostels in San Juan. The hostels also cater for independent travelers who book rooms from time to time. The hostels are centrally located in San Juan, close to beaches, shops, restaurants and amenities.

The program has start dates every Monday 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.
