Program Details

The volunteer program takes place at Fundación Territorial Shamuy, a grassroots organization based in the Peruvian Amazon. Shamuy promotes social transformation by connecting sport, community development, education, youth leadership, culture, and environmental sustainability.

Its work focuses on rural and native communities, creating opportunities for children, youth, women, and families facing economic limitations and limited access to development spaces.

Volunteers join a dynamic territorial initiative that includes programs such as CEDAR (sports and youth development), CONECTA (gender and empowerment), and broader community engagement processes. This role specifically contributes to strengthening Shamuy’s visibility, alliances, and external relations.


Activities & Shift

Volunteers support public relations and communication efforts, including attending meetings, representing Shamuy at events, and participating in networking spaces with organizations, institutions, and local actors. They may also assist in storytelling, content creation, and outreach strategies to position the organization and its impact.

Activities are usually scheduled between mornings and afternoons, from Monday to Saturday, with occasional events depending on the organizational agenda.


Rules

Volunteers must respect local cultures, community norms, and child protection policies. Responsible behavior, punctuality, teamwork, and commitment to the program are required. The use of alcohol or substances is strictly prohibited during program activities and any interaction with beneficiaries; however, responsible personal use outside program hours and activities is permitted, provided it does not affect the volunteer’s performance or the organization’s values.
