Sobre el programa

Offering psychological care and rehabilitation, the program aims to nurture the potential of children or teenagers with motor disabilities. It takes into account each student’s level to facilitate interaction and active participation in a social setting, fostering increased independence.

In addition to its educational assistance, the school provides support to teachers, enabling them to deliver comprehensive care and train students for competitive or supervised activities in the workforce. The supplementary services encompass physical therapy, language therapy, counselling, pre-employment training, as well as sports and recreation opportunities. 

Location

We offer this program in several locations: one in the city of Puyo, the capital of the Province of Pastaza, and another in Archidona, located in the Province of Napo. Both provinces are situated in the Amazon region. Additionally, we offer the program in Riobamba, the capital of the Province of Chimborazo, located in the Highlands.

Puyo, nestled in the heart of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest, is a vibrant city and the capital of the Province of Pastaza. Surrounded by lush greenery, Puyo offers a unique blend of urban life and natural beauty. The city is a gateway to the diverse ecosystems of the Amazon, attracting nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.

Archidona provides a gateway to the wonders of the Amazon basin. The town is characterised by its friendly community and a blend of traditional and modern influences. Visitors to Archidona can immerse themselves in the local culture, explore nearby natural attractions, and experience the unique flavours of the Amazon through its markets and cuisine.

Riobamba, the capital of the Province of Chimborazo in the Highlands of Ecuador, is a city steeped in history and surrounded by stunning mountain landscapes. Nestled in the Andes, Riobamba boasts a mix of colonial architecture and indigenous influences, creating a unique cultural tapestry. The city is known for its proximity to Chimborazo, Ecuador’s highest peak, and serves as a starting point for many Andean adventures.

sobre la organización

IVI are a non profit org with 28 years experience providing responsible volunteer placements in 15 countries worldwide. We help you connect with inspiring opportunities

Conoce a tu anfitrión(a)

Involvement Volunteers International delivers positive social change to developing communities and vulnerable populations through local, national & international volunteering.  Our projects empower the skilled & un-skilled to catalyse the efforts of local partners in creating a better world.


WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1989, IVI is a pioneer of overseas volunteering.  Back when there was no internet and phones were a luxury in many parts of the world, we traveled to developing countries in search of credible NGO's in need of manpower and global volunteer resources.  Some of the many relationships we forged are utilized to this day. 

We are passionate about volunteering and giving back to society and in particular developing communities which are less fortunate than us.  In this way, we combine travelling with volunteering to help people make a positive impact overseas.

SOCIAL EXPERIENCES
All of IVI’s projects have a strong social element at the core.  With more manpower (& womanpower!) we can truly catalyse the efforts of our local partners.  This means you're sure to meet loads of like-minded people from all parts of the world.   This type of experience truly broadens your understanding of the world and yourself, opening your heart to new enlightened ways of thinking .   With your new found travel companions, you'll have plenty of opportunity to explore and have fun!  

Our projects create a unique platform to experience the true heart and soul of a destination rather than simply the tourist areas.   We'll involve you in meaningful & responsible volunteer work that really benefits the local communities.

AFFORDABLE VOLUNTEER TRAVEL
As a non profit org, we are not motivated by shareholder profits.  Our fee structure is fully transparent to ensure volunteers hard earned money is going directly to the areas where it is most needed.  It is vitally important to us that the presence of volunteers has a positive and sustainable impact on the local communities we work with.   

We charge a one off US$275 application fee per volunteer to cover the running of IVI including administration overheads, project inspection costs, marketing, and salaries.

The program fee starts at $150 p/week and goes straight to the in country management to cover arrival airport transfers, on the ground coordination, orientation, accommodation, meals, in country 24/7 project support, project development, donations and related administration costs.   

In comparison to many of our competitors, our programs are incredible value.

SAFETY & RESPONSIBLE PROGRAMS
With approx 80-90% of our volunteers being single young female travelers, volunteer safety is of the utmost importance.  All of our projects include a dedicated 24/7 in-country management support contact as well as a dedicated placement manager pre/post journey.  This ensures you will be cared for every step of the way.    The local teams are highly experienced and qualified to manage emergency situations.

All IVI projects have been personally inspected to ensure the standards meet necessary guidelines for quality and safety.  In addition, we monitor and maintain communication with local embassies to oversee potential issues in order to notify volunteers and their families accordingly.   

Our Australian team are available 24/7 and only a phone call away.

Our responsibility also extends to the local people which is why volunteers working in childcare related fields must provide a criminal background check before they travel.   Our ultimate goal is the long term development of the communities we work with, hence we work closely with our local partners to ensure that projects are needs driven and sustainable. 

SUPPORT

From your very first inquiry, right through to your welcome home, you'll have the same dedicated volunteer manager at every stage.  We are experts in the field and will provide you in depth insights about what to expect and how to prepare to ensure you have an amazing experience overseas.  Every project includes a detailed welcome pack which provides all aspects needed such as in country contacts, what to pack, cultural values, basic language guides and much much more.   

On arrival at your destination, you'll be greeted by one of our in-country team and in many cases 1 week orientation is provided to help ease you into the way of life and ensure you're equipped with the right customs to ensure a successful volunteer abroad experience.  

FUN!
Volunteering abroad is quite possibly the most rewarding experience you will have in your life!   We know this not only through our own experiences, but through the testimonies from thousands of volunteers we have successfully placed worldwide over 27+ years in operation.  Volunteering overseas is not only rewarding.   It's fun!   You're meeting new people, you're seeing new sights, and you're expanding your understanding of yourself and the world.  You're experiencing something real and life changing in many ways...
