Welcome - Bienvenidos

Peru 109 is a family run organization based in Vermont that leads
volunteer programs exclusively in the country of Peru. Co-directors Anne
(USA) and Juan Carlos (Peru) design the Peru 109 trips with the goal of
not only facilitating positive community change, but also encouraging
Peruvians to be active in initiating and maintaining programs that enhance
their own community.
With these goals in mind, all Peru 109 trips focus on interactive
community projects that encourage cultural exchange between the Peruvian
community and the volunteers. To facilitate this exchange, all volunteers
with Peru 109 are housed with local host families, with whom they share
3 meals a day during their program. This provides participants with
the opportunity to not just visit Peru, but be a part of it!
Peru 109 specializes in programs for college students, families, and
independent travelers, all of whom work with nonprofit organizations and
schools during their stay. Host communities currently include
neighborhoods in the cities of Cusco (San Sebastian), Trujillo, and Chimbote.
We invite you to explore our program descriptions to see which trip
matches your schedule, skills, and budget. Also, we welcome your
suggestions and ideas for additional projects that we can design with you and/or
your group in mind.
