The spectacular ancient Andean culture, with its haunting music, expressive dance and vibrant dress, is matched only by the enchanting landscapes and hospitable people. In Ecuador, eleven distinct cultures weave harmoniously together to unite past and present.

As a Global Volunteer, you experience Ecuador through her people...needy children, their families and care-givers. The realities for the children you'll serve in the Quito area are harsh... poverty, disability, and homelessness. But you can help improve opportunities in these young lives. Provide direct, hands-on care for children of all ages through two amazing local organizations. No matter your background, your personal efforts improve their well-being. What's more, your service program fee helps purchase materials directed to the children's imminent needs. Sponsorship opportunities enable you to extend your service to those who need it most.
