The Sport Education program consists of volunteers working in local schools to improve children's knowledge of sports and teaching foreign sports and games to the children. They also educate children on general fitness, health and wellbeing in addition to their regular lessons at the school. It is up to the volunteer to plan lessons and design the teaching of their sport program.
Volunteer tasks:
- Recreational activities
- Assisting teachers in preparing sports classes
- Teaching students about new sports
- Assisting and participating in sports training, competitions and school events
- Supervising children during recess and lunch
- Building up the self-esteem and confidence of the children
Children are extremely enthusiastic and willing to learn. While soccer is extremely popular in Peru, many volunteers have found it rewarding to teach children different sports (or popular sports from the volunteer's home country). If a volunteer wishes to do this, they must plan ahead and often must bring the required materials and equipment themselves, as it is highly likely they will not be available in local stores and shopping centers here.
Volunteer will be placed in projects including primary or secondary public schools. This is a school for children from 6 to 16 years old from poor neighborhood. The school is close to the city center and attends about 3000 students. They do not get a lot of help from the government, so all support is appreciated. The kids at the schools come from low income families.

Volunteers will stay in a homestay where they will live with a local family. Volunteers can expect to share a room with one or two other. We highly recommend staying with a family; that way you will also learn the Peruvian way of life, meet local people, eat typical food, speak the language (Spanish) and engage in local customs and traditions.
Volunteers will be sharing bathroom and common areas with other volunteers and members of the family.
2 meals are included (breakfast and dinner). Volunteers can expect to experience a variety of flavors and meals during their experience as Peruvian food is diverse. We will be glad to let the family know if you have special eating needs. Please let us know ahead of time so that we can make arrangements for you.
