Activities for kids

Activities are an important part of your volunteer experience! Volunteers work together to prepare a fun activity for the children during each shift. We have a large supply of games, arts and craft supplies, and other fun equipment at the volunteer house that you can use for activities.

Once you have applied and been accepted, you will receive an email with a list of activity supplies that the volunteer house could currently use more of. We encourage you to consider bringing some of these items with you to Ecuador!

Whether you pack activity supplies or not, we do highly recommend that you at least come prepared with a list of activity ideas. This will help your transition into the volunteer work be much smoother.

You can visit our Pinterest for activity ideas or come up with your own. We encourage you to be creative and think about activities you enjoyed as a child!
