ASVOCR

VEGlobal (Voluntarios de la Esperanza) is a different kind of volunteer organization. Volunteers of diverse backgrounds and nationalities work with children in schools, community centers and orphanages to develop and implement educational programs and build lasting relationships.

Though there are two types of volunteer experiences to choose from, there are no two volunteers alike within the organization. Aside from the minimum requirement being 18 years of age and have the ability to speak English or Spanish at an intermediate level or higher, previous volunteers have exhibited an array of characteristics ranging from creativity, a caring demeanor and the ability to work well within a team.

Each of these traits contributes not only to the diversity of the organization, but also to the success of its programming.

Chol-Chol

We want to improve the quality of life of rural people from the Araucania Region of Chile, by strengthening the families’ social and economic development and their cultural recognition.

We believe volunteer work is a tool for social, cultural and economic development, a way to enrich and improve our quality of life by using commitment and solidarity to overcome poverty in the poorest rural areas of the Araucania region in Chile.

We accept both Chilean and foreign volunteers who are professionals or university students who, for no charge, will work with programs that need support and that lack sufficient resources to hire more staff.

The programs are conducted in the culturally attractive region of the Araucania in Chile. Volunteers have the opportunity to learn about a region inhabited by the greatest number of indigenous Mapuches in the country. Advantages of our Volunteer Program
* No registration or application cost * We offer a pleasant work environment and staff with ample experience working with foreigners and with the indigenous communities in the region * Team work and individual work is available
* We look for a place where our volunteers can live in the warm and friendly atmosphere of a Chilean family
* We orient you upon arriving in Temuco and at the Foundation
* If we have no vacancies open, we offer contact with other volunteer organizations in the region Volunteer Vacancies The availability of volunteer jobs changes over time, but the following areas receive ongoing support:
* Searching for Funding: through international, private or government cooperation
* Product and environmental design * Project Formulation and Development * Marketing & Communications
* International Business
* Medicinal Plants

To find a specific current need, please visit website nd we will look into how we can use your support. Thank you!
