As a volunteer at these teaching assistant projects, you will be working as a part of PRONOEI.

PRONOEI is a Peruvian government-sponsored preschool initiative in the poorest areas of Peru. Mothers from within the community receive teacher training to work with a group of 30 children between 3 to 5 years old.

These community mothers have a huge challenge to keep their classes running, receiving very little support from the Peruvian state.

They are nonetheless doing a formidable job, but that’s why receiving volunteers to assist in the classroom can be such a huge help.

The volunteer programs in Peru are available at Cusco, Arequipa, and Iquitos
