Bolivia is situated in Latin America and is one of the most amazing countries in south America, combining the modern with the rustic at every step you take in all of its cities. So, what a better thing than coming to Bolivia get to know it and its cultures and also build your professional career here?.

Being an intern in Bolivia is not only an opportunity for you and your career but also it’s a chance to put all your knowledge in practice and help organizations in Bolivia, creating a sustainable work that will leave a seed to better ways of working and to help grow the knowledge of the organization.

Where can I be an intern?
Opportunities are as vast as the country itself!. Because they are tailor made We offer you the chance to create together with us your own internship. you can choose the internship and the organization you would like to work in.(NGO’s, rural area, private sector) You tell us what you’re interested in and we will find it for you. Just as simple as that.

Making internship suitable to all
How much money do you need? Well the answer is simple NOT MUCH. Reach Bolivia aims to help you get your way to Bolivia at very low prices. We give you the chance of finding an internship according to your budget. Our services are divided by prices so you can choose from our flat rate of 280 USD for only the internship position to our full package of 500 USD. How? You just let us know what do you need. Feel free to put together your own package; include what you want and take away what you don’t need!!!!.

Why paying for volunteer?
You are paying for the administration costs of finding a tailor made internship that will truly help you and the organization. The rest of the payments are for you to have an smooth entrance to the Bolivian culture and for not worrying about anything. In our experience a lot of interns arrived with “nothing in their hands” and by the time they found their way through Bolivia - was time for them to go home. We want you to have everything already settle so you will start enjoying things from the very beginning. The best thing is that you don’t have to pay anything before you arrive to Bolivia. There are no reservation fees.
