Volunteer in Nicaragua
Local charities and some international organisations provide opportunities for individuals who are looking to volunteer in Nicaragua for a short or extended period of time. Catering to your needs and preferences, programs allow you to choose the length of time you want to volunteer, from 1 week to 12 months.
As a gap year volunteer (which is open to all age groups), you will be able to fully immerse yourself in Nicaragua’s rich culture while making a marked and substantive difference. Volunteering is an unforgettable experience where you can help children, communities, wildlife and the environment.
