Peru 109 offers week long community projects in the Spring, perfect for volunteers who have limited travel time available but are interested in being a part of a worthwhile community project.

All ASB programs run from Saturday to Saturday during March and April to accommodate typical work/class schedules. You'll spend your week with the children and staff of Colegio Senor de los Milagros, an elementary/middle school program for low-income families in Trujillo. It is our hope that through these two months of ASBs, we will be able to generate continuous projects that focus on literacy support, afterschool sports program (creation/organization), site maintenance and painting, or a large-scale mural design. In addition, each Project Team will design a signature project that will be unique to their ASB week.

In the evenings, you can take advantage of activities that we offer such as a dance or cooking class, explore Trujillo's beautiful main plaza, or relax at home with your host family and teammates. You'll have the chance to get to know additional historical, mystical, or scenic places in and around Trujillo. On our final two afternoon, we'll go to Trujillo Sand Dunes for an amazing and unique Sandboarding Session. Also, you'll visit the famous Chan Chan Ruins and Huanchaco beach, where you can take a Surfing Lesson, or just enjoy the incredible views in any way you choose.

Peru 109 can design an ASB specifically for your team, class, club, or organization. If you are a group of 5 + people, we can create a program that matches your group’s interests, budget, and schedule. Check with us about available weeks and projects for your group!
