Volunteer Long-Term on a Teaching Position in Ecuador

Situated in a stunning area of Ecuador, this program offers volunteers a fantastic opportunity. Living with a local family in the beautiful market town of Otavalo, you will be travelling to the nearby rural mountains to volunteer with children, learn Spanish and experience the indigenous Andean culture.

GVI are working with the leaders of the indigenous communities on educational programs that will provide educational reinforcement and the opportunity to receive a formal education that many of the children and adults would not otherwise have. These long-term placements greatly aid the development of the children, providing them with much needed continuity and assistance. Two weeks off are scheduled every three months, to give volunteers a chance to relax and explore more of Ecuador and other areas of South America.
