Chile occupies a significant proportion of South America’s western coast and it is for this reason that there is so much to see and do if you decide to travel to Chile on your gap year. If you really want to do something really worthwhile on a gap year in Chile then why not consider taking part in some Chile volunteer work.
Volunteer options in Chile
Chile Volunteer Our Santiago Orphanage project gives you the opportunity to get involved as a volunteer in Chile by providing care to some of Santiago’s orphans.
Help out an orphanage for children who have been abused or abandoned by their families. Babies and toddlers up to the age of four need waking, feeding and bathing – but most of all, love and attention.
Pick up one of the most rhythmic languages in the world with small, friendly classes, dedicated teachers and excellent facilities. Great for travelling round South America or for taking part in a Spanish speaking volunteer project.
Spend 5 months or more on an amazing gap year in Latin America. This programme provides all the structure you need, with lots of activities including Spanish lessons, volunteering with wildlife or disadvantaged street children.
Journey across South America exploring the continent's highlights, from Chile to Argentina via Bolivia's Salt Flats and the Iguacu Falls on the Brazil-Argentina border.
