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.
