Overseas Voluntary Work in Latin America

If you are looking for a blend of worthwhile volunteering, interesting culture and outstanding travel opportunities then you could not make a better choice than one of our Latin American destinations. We work at both ends of this intriguing region – from Mexico in the north to Argentina in the south - and in Brazil, Costa Rica, Bolivia and Peru in between, and we offer an exciting array of projects within each, including Teaching, Care, Medicine, Sports, Law, Conservation & Environment and Journalism.

Projects Abroad is the world’s most popular international volunteering organisation, currently sending around 5,000 volunteers away with us every year, around 1,000 of which travel to Latin America. We have built our reputation around variety and flexibility; as well as the multitude of placements we offer to our volunteers, we also give them complete freedom in their choice of start dates and project lengths.
