Get Going!

We don’t charge fees to volunteers, but since we rely entirely on donations to function we do ask that volunteers fundraise to bring a donation, when possible. We have a fundraising guide to help you get started.

Kids in Bolivia

Our volunteers get the chance to truly experience Bolivian culture, through the adventure of working directly with communities in need. They bring their passion for literacy to the children, teenagers, and adults who use our libraries. We’re sure that you’ll learn just as much from them as they do from you. You’ll also have the opportunity to practise your Spanish each and every day with the children and the local community, meaning rapid advances in your ability to communicate in this language! We can guarantee that every day working in one of our rural libraries is an adventure, yet one where you can make real, sustainable change.
