Ecotourism Jobs in Ecuador - Volunteer work at Piedra Blanca

Volunteer jobs at the Piedra Blanca Community Ecotourism Project in rural Ecuador: the project seeks volunteers to help develop the community ecotourism program and conservation projects. Work on the project began in 2004 - it now seeks resourceful, Spanish speaking volunteers to help with its development. A volunteer with a sound knowledge of what ecotourism is and how a community ecotourism project should function is the top priority for the project, though potential exists for anyone enthusiastic in the following fields to apply:

• Environmental projects
• Biodiversity and ecology in Ecuador
• Conservation projects
• Agroforestry and sustainable forestry jobs
• Teaching English to local guides and school children in Ecuador [more info]
• Ecotourism project development advisor
• Sustainable development projects
• Community development projects
• Fundraising and grant applications
• Carpentry, construction and building maintenance
• Tourism marketing

Volunteering at Piedra Blanca has the real potential to make a big difference to a remote rural community in Ecuador that needs your skills, knowledge, advice, iniative and enthusiasm. Volunteers will pay $10 per day to cover costs for food and accommodation with a local family that has been accommodating volunteers for many years. Your volunteer work need not be confined to solely working with the ecotourism project. There are a range of ongoing local conservation and sustainable development projects throughout Ecuador organized by CRACYP that also need volunteers, including conservation work in the Galapagos Islands [more info on CRACYP].

You can make a real difference while volunteering in Ecuador (South America) - Piedra Blanca has a unique development project and a unique, highly rewarding opportunity for enthusiastic volunteers.
