PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
* Get to know the ¨Real¨ Galapagos by spending quality time at 3 unique islands.

* Learn from local scientists about the current social and environmental issues affecting the islands!

WHY THIS VOLUNTEER PROGRAM MAKES A DIFFERENCE?

There are many environmental and social issues affecting these world-famous Islands. Traditional cruise companies and tours are growing in demand, affecting not only local ecosystems but also social interactions between the animals. The Galapagos are populated islands that must generate local income in order to keep its inhabitants away from depleting the natural resources.

Cruise companies do not use local providers for their packages (not to mention the fuel consumption and pollution issues they create). Therefore the Galapagos' residents do not receive the benefits from cruise-based tourism.

On the contrary, LEAD Adventures’ travel volunteer program leave most of its proceeds with the local community, which helps the locals stay away from depleting the islands natural resources and instead take care of their natural environment!

Requirements:

Volunteers must have a great interest in working with endangered species and conservation. There are no formal requirements, but we strongly recommend that you have some basic Spanish skills. It is necessary to have a basic level of fitness, as most of the work consists of carrying heavy loads (even during distribution of food and water for the animals), using tools and walking up and down.
