The art of volunteering our efforts towards helping others while traveling abroad promotes cultural immersion and enriching personal experience.
Ecuador's myriad foundations and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) offer
a number of volunteer opportunities, ranging from teaching in schools, making products,
preservation of ecosystems and house construction. In addition,
one can organize an experience through several international foundations and organizations who operate programs
in Ecuador.
