Hi I’m Jake from Sydney Australia and I run Ecuador Eco Volunteer with Wlady Ortiz together with the help and guidance of our volunteers.
Here we believe that Volunteer Work SHOULD NOT cost thousands of dollars a month.
Here we value your TIME, EFFORT, and ATTITUDE much more than your MONEY.
We are also proud (and perhaps a little bit biased as well!) to run what we believe are some of the best low-cost volunteer work programs in South America.
Keep on reading to learn a bit more about us like our ideals, who we are and why we created this project, as well as our ambitious plans for the future and why we need your help.
What Makes Volunteering With Us Different
Have you ever wanted to make a difference in the world but didn’t know where to start? I know I used to feel like that and I believe most other people have felt that way as well because lets face it - the status quo sucks - there is so much wrong in the world and it seems like its only getting worse.
That’s why we created Ecuador Eco Volunteer – we wanted to help out for a good cause but were unhappy with many of the grossly overpriced volunteer programs out there.
We didn’t want to settle for the status quo either so we decided to create something different, something new, something where volunteers like us really can make a lasting difference.
…and thats what makes Ecuador Eco Volunteer different – to put it simply, this project is designed by volunteers for volunteers.
This project is constantly evolving and improving thanks to the advice and direction of our volunteers who help us find out what works and what needs to be changed to create a greater difference in Ecuador.
The Volunteer Programs We Run
We have spent the last three years creating and improving some pretty special volunteer programs all around Ecuador that include:
- Conservation and reforestation projects along the Ecuadorian Coast
- One of Latin Americas most successful breeding and rehabilitation programs at an Animal Rescue Center in the Ecuadorian Amazon
- Economic Development and Education programs inside several different indigenous communities in the Ecuadorian Andes
And that is just the beginning.
Ecuador Eco Adventure and Ecuador Eco Volunteer are certified ecotourism operators under Ecuadorian Law.
