Volunteer in Puerto Rico

Be the Change. Be a Global Volunteer in Puerto Rico

Support Puerto Rican Children

The beautiful island of Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States, a common destination for Americans seeking beach vacations with a Latin twist.  But beyond the seaside hotels is a community asking for your help – students looking to sharpen their English skills, and community buildings in need of tender loving care. Lend your hands and heart; in just one or two weeks, you can make a difference and form lasting bonds with the people of Puerto Rico. See Covid-19 requirements.
