Where you’ll be based!
Surrounded by lush cloud forests, rolling hills, and a vibrant local culture, El Valle de Antón offers a side of Panama far removed from the bustling city life. Our Hub is nestled in this picturesque mountain town, known for its natural beauty, cool climate, and welcoming community.
In your free time, you can explore scenic hiking trails, visit local markets, wander past colorful streets and gardens, and take in the breathtaking landscapes of the surrounding mountains and crater lakes.

Peru might be a global tourism hotspot, but beyond the breathtaking landscapes and rich Incan history, many communities face significant social and economic challenges. Rural communities in particular struggle to access essential services such as education, healthcare, and sustainable income opportunities.
Our team is based on the ground all year round, working hand in hand with the local community – this ensures that all our programs meet current community needs and are part of a long-term plan that aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. By joining a program in Peru, and contributing to our community projects, you will use your skills, knowledge and passions to create lasting, positive impact.
