Volunteers can contribute in a range of areas such as child and adult education, physiotherapy, orphan care, environmental conservation, healthcare, housing construction, and much more. Additionally, we provide various internship opportunities as well as institutional support for research projects. No matter what the individual project, through the forging of new friendships and experiences, you will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of Bolivia and her people. Since some institutions require long time commitments (due to considerable training periods), most of our volunteer positions are only available to long term volunteers. Personal advantages for these volunteers include the opportunity to develop deeper relationships with members of the community and the ability to truly see the merit of one’s work. Additionally, volunteers will benefit professionally as they develop new skills, improve their language abilities and gain cross-cultural experience. All long term volunteers are also considered interns and, if desired, will receive a letter of recommendation upon successful completion of their stay. Yet, despite all of these personal and professional advantages, it is the Bolivian people who stand to benefit the most from the work of these individuals. For all individuals wishing to donate their time, Sustainable Bolivia offers full or part-time volunteer placements, low-cost transport from airport upon arrival, free orientation and city map, as well as 24 hour staff support. Additionally we provide language classes, free internet access, family stay opportunities, private or shared accommodations and reduced travel prices to one of our sustainable ecotourism destinations. We also organize optional social activities in the evening and on weekends.

Sustainable Bolivia is a developmental institution headquartered in Cochabamba Bolivia with supporting offices in the United States and Germany. With projects in the Andean highlands and the Amazonian lowlands, our primary objective is to assist local communities in the development of environmentally, socially and fiscally sustainable ecotourism programs. Additionally, for those wishing to contribute and extend their stays in Bolivia, we offer a range of volunteer placements, home stay opportunities, low-cost housing as well as Spanish and Quechua language classes.
