Due to Nicaragua's social conditions, many children and youth lack equal opportunities and are not supported in their healthy development. Lack of education is one of the main obstacles preventing people from improving their living conditions and escaping poverty. In León, Nicaragua, we offer voluntary services to help disadvantaged children and youth at two daycare centers. The main goal is to provide access to education and support in a safe environment. Possible activities for volunteers include: * Supporting teachers in pre-primary education (writing, reading, simple Math) * Playing with the children * Teaching English * Homework tutoring * Development and implementation of creative and interactive learning games * Leading leisure activities such as dance, music, painting, circus games, sports * Assisting with or implementing activities related to environmental conservation, nature, and geography Previous experience in childcare, teaching, or education is an advantage, but not mandatory. This program also welcomes interns.

Join our wonderful program in the heart of Nicaragua’s coffee-growing region! For one week, you will learn about our organization and functions through participation in projects aimed at sustainable community development. Your group will stay at an organic coffee farm in Jinotega, where you will work alongside farmers, millers, and seasonal pickers. You will also assist with development projects, such as whitewashing walls or building ovens and stoves. You will also sample locally grown and produced coffee at a fair trade cooperative. Of course, there will be time for sightseeing and exploration, such as hiking to a waterfall and going on a guided tour to Granada.

Become a part of our conservation effort on a remote beach in Nicaragua, where sea turtle eggs have been harvested ever since. Local families rely on the income they generate by selling eggs on the market. That's why we pay for most of the nests we protect in our hatchery. Our ecologically built infrastructure is located within a virgin beachfront forest adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. We offer a dormitory-style cabin (accommodating a maximum of 4 people) with a shared toilet and shower, as well as a cozy community space with a well-equipped kitchen. Volunteers cook their own breakfast and lunch and enjoy a traditional dinner. Join us in Nicaragua, helping physically (with the workload) and financially. The more people come and stay, the more we can protect as a community. Expect to help with daily chores such as hatchery management, nest relocation, maintenance, gardening, and more. It is important for us to give you enough free time to explore and enjoy the natural setting. We also have a weekly activity schedule with workshops, crafts, courses, and fun trips (optional but included in the price). This program is also open to students seeking internship opportunities.
