Program Details
At the Santa Marta Foundation we believe that volunteering is an exchange of knowledge, cultures, and experiences. We work with children, youth, adults and older adults from Pachacámac communities through programs of education, art, culture and community development. We seek committed people, with initiative and a willingness to learn, to share their talents and work as a team. Our goal is for each volunteer to have an enriching experience while positively contributing to the development of our community.
Activities & Shift
Activities will depend on the volunteer's skills and interests. They may support art, ceramics, music, dance, languages, information technology or tutoring workshops, collaborate in the solidarity dining room, participate in cultural activities, maintenance of spaces, gardening, communications and social media, photography, event organization, and other community projects. Generally, volunteering runs between 4 and 5 hours per day, five days a week, with schedules coordinated in advance.
Rules
We expect respect toward the community, the beneficiaries, and the Foundation team. We value punctuality, responsibility, good communication, and a collaborative attitude. Alcohol or drugs are not allowed during volunteering activities. We ask you to take care of the facilities, maintain a respectful coexistence, and notify in advance of any changes in the schedule or absence. Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and enriching environment for all.
