Welcome to The Village Education Project Volunteer Program!

Welcome to The Village Education Project! Every summer, volunteers from across the county join our program in Otavalo, Ecuador. The volunteers teach Math and English to the students who we'll help attend high school, and provide basic classes for the younger children as well.

While our website at www.villageeducation.org is under maintenance, this will be your main source of information about how to become a volunteer.

Be sure to check out our slideshow, below, to see pictures from our summer program. To read more about our work, read the articles about us on the left sidebar!

If you have any questions please check out the posts labeled "FAQ." You can click the link on the left to access all of them. If you don't find an answer to your question, please email us at VillageEducationVolunteer@gmail.com.

We hope to see you in Ecuador!
