The Peace Project works with the youth of Laguna de Apoyo to:
1. Provide English language instruction and reinforcing the
local educational efforts to expand future job opportunities.
2. Create a culture of peaceful conflict resolution and
positive communication.
3. Develop a greater awareness
and open-mindedness of new ideas and cultures.
We're looking for self-motivated, independent volunteers to work with us in the small rural community of Laguna de Apoyo. Volunteers create their own schedules, but have worked as camp counselors, tutors, and teaching assistants. They can also design their own side projects from creating promotional videos to designing public health workshops.
Also, we live in a volcanic crate next to a beautiful lake and it's 80 degrees every day!
More information on the project and how to apply can be found on the website: thepeaceprojectnicaragua.org. Or get a better sense of what we do by watching the video that our volunteers made!
