Interested in Volunteer and helping people? First of all thanks for the good intentions!!!!. Being a Volunteer is the most gratefully experience in life and Bolivia is a country that needs people willing to help. There are many social groups in Bolivia that do not receive the proper treatment because of he lack of funds and poverty, therefore, volunteer work makes a difference in a lot of people’s life. Volunteering is more that playing with children, or helping elder people or disabled kids, volunteer means leaving behind for a period of time what you know and open your heart to new friends, knowledge, understanding of cultures and learning. After being a volunteer you will find your self with a new perspective in life and definitely happier.
We look forward to creating positions that will suit the candidates profile and aim to help and work in developping countries, responding to the local demand of internation knowledge and support in Bolivia.

Different volunteer positions for different people
Reach Bolivia offers two different type of volunteer programs.

Professional Volunteering
Even thought the projects may be the same as a non professional volunteer position the task you will perform involve more knowledge and experience, and most of the time more challenging tasks, where your previous knowledge will be put to work. Most of the time you will be guiding non professional volunteers and coordinating some tasks with them.

Non professional Volunteering
The tasks to perform normally involve less responsibility and gives you a chance to learn from professional volunteers and hopefully help you realize what would you like to study or do in the future with your life, making this not only a chance to help but also a chance to learn a lot.

Why paying for volunteer?
This is a common question actually you will not pay for volunteer you will pay for administration costs for Reach Bolivia finding a place for you to volunteer. As well as for extra information that comes in handy, technical support as well as emotional support. We try to charge the less we can since we want volunteer to be an opportunity for all, but we also want to help you and make your arrival and stay as smooth as possible.
