GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Amanecer is a catholic based organization but does not require volunteers to be of the catholic faith or of any faith. Volunteers must be 21 years of age and willing to work in the program for at least six months. Knowledge of Spanish is essential. Preferred backgrounds for volunteers are education, childcare, psychology or health care. However, anyone who loves children can be useful and given the size and diversity of the program most skill types can be accommodated.

Anyone considering becoming a volunteer should realize that although the work is rewarding it can be difficult due to the requirement for acculturation and the emotional condition of the children. Our experience has been that volunteers need an advanced maturity level and a flexible nature to be effective.

FINANCES

Amanecer cannot help with travel expenses. However, room and board will be provided to volunteers who work for the full six month term. All other expenses will have to be covered by the volunteer or a sponsoring agency.

To become a volunteer with Amanecer simply contact our volunteer coordinator. Volunteers are wanted immediately. Contact us now.
