How does the volunteer program work?


Project Coordination

There will be a bilingual volunteer coordinator to help you interact with your supervisor, the staff and any logistical needs. If you are assigned to a project that requires you to live at the Reserve, a "buddy" will be assigned to you for your first day. This is meant to help you get acquainted with your new surroundings.

A working plan will be agreed upon before your arrival to Ecuador or to Maquipucuna if you are already in the country. Your day to day activities will be established with your supervisor. You and your supervisor should communicate at least once a week to insure the project is running smoothly.

You will be asked to fill out an evaluation form of your experience at the end of your stay. Depending on your project, a final report may also be required before your volunteer experience is over.
