Amazon Internship Program

Do you have a burning passion for Indigenous People & Culture and the Amazon Rainforest? 

If so, then take this breathtaking opportunity to help train an Amerindian community in the three fields needed most: IT, Accounting and Eco-tourism/hospitality management to improve their Amerindian eco-lodge and trips so that hopefully in the future more tourists will come and in return it will provide an alternative eco-friendly income for the entire village!

Depending on the skills and experience you possess, the projects that you’ll be involved in will vary and could include anything from supporting the Eco-lodge with marketing and tourism management development, assist in teaching children and adult’s valuable IT skills and/or teaching some of the staff the basics of accounting.

This great volunteer abroad experience will lead you into the northern most frontier of the Amazon jungle in the southern reaches of South America’s only English-speaking country; Guyana! Have the privilege to discover this country while it is still untouched with fascinating cultures to meet and mind-blowing wildlife to view! Apply now for this great cause and be part of Guyana while it is still unspoiled, and hopefully through our combined effort we will keep it this way!
