Volunteer Opportunities with The Mountain Fund

 

Trek4Good is a volunteer program of The Mountain Fund. This program was started in order to address the need of volunteers to both see the country and contribute their time. By hosting volunteer visits that are close to the people and the cultures of the country, we help to prepare them to be more effective volunteers with a deeper understanding of the issues. Every Trek4Good trip either has a volunteer component built in, or is organized to raise funds for a particular project we support. It is another way that we can support our community-based partners around the world and educate more people through direct, personal experience.


 

    We offer the best programs in Nepal!
  • Nobody in Nepal is as prepared as we are to make your volunteer visit a complete success. We have our own volunteer clubhouse in Thamel just for our volunteers. Here you can use the internet cafe to check e-mail, hang out and take a break, watch some TV or a DVD, have Kul Bahadur the famed porter fix you a cup of real coffee, learn some Nepali and ask our dedicated and professional staff about any aspect of life in Nepal.
  • If you have any further questions about volunteering in Nepal, please contact our Visitor Information Center at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

 

    We offer the best programs in Peru!
  • While in Cusco you will be staying in the home of Yure Chavez, together with his wife Brenda, and their son Michael. There's a 'volunteers apartment' at Yure's with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and living area, plus kitchen. We'll provide breakfast and dinner each day, but you are welcome to fix yourself some snacks in the kitchen as well. Each bedroom is equipped for double occupancy (two twin beds).
  • You'll be living in a real Peruvian neighborhood while at Yure and Brenda's. From their house you can walk to the main plaza in about 30 minutes.
  • We will make all the arrangements for you to transfer from Lima to Cusco, pick you up at the airport and help get you settled in. Then we will show you around Cusco so you can navigate the city (which is easy) and introduce you at your volunteer placement.
  • Since Yure is a professional guide, he can answer any questions you have on tours of Inca sites and Cathedrals. If you have any further questions about volunteering in Peru, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
