Environmental education internships
We transform the way young Paraguayans learn about their environment with our environmental education programme Voces de la Naturaleza. It’s based on the 3Cs: Creativity, Curiosity, and a Connection to nature. What started as a single after-school activity in 2015 has grown into a network of Eco-Clubs and environmental education activities that stretch across Paraguay.
Join our Voces de la Naturaleza team and empower Paraguayan children to become eco-leaders in their community.
Environmental education Internship
As an environmental education intern, you’ll work to bring Paraguayan children closer to their natural heritage. Through our Voces de la Naturaleza curriculum, you’ll help them learn about their environment and its interconnections, and help children build skills which will prepare them to become eco-leaders.
A typical Eco-Club lesson includes interactive presentations, arts and crafts, experiments, group works and, of course, lots of time to explore the outdoors.
what you’ll be doing
