Volunteer Opportunities
Small groups of volunteers can arrange
to stay at Las Casas de La Selva for periods ranging from a weekend to
several months. During their stay volunteers take part in all the activities
of the project including forestry work, road and track maintenance, plantation
surveying, construction, nursery work and erosion control. The property
also affords opportunities for adventure hikes into the 500 acre wilderness
area and there are many local places of interest to visit.
GLOBALWORKS
Since 2003, Globalworks and Windsor Mountain Youth Groups have been involved in volunteer programs at the project, and since 2005, involvement within the local comunity of Patillas has commenced. Since 1990, Global Works has been providing exceptional community service and cultural exchange programs around the world for teenagers and young adults.
Global Works Puerto Rico, in addition to working with Las Casas de la Selva, is active in Vieques and a land rescue community in Vega Alta.
Peruse through our newsletters to see the work that Globalworks volunteers have accomplished at the project, along with other volunteer youth groups.
During 1998/99, Tropic Ventures collaborated with Gateway Pacific Foundation "Earthtrain",
& hosted Youth Leadership Training Programs
for young people aged 16 and over. These programs
involved young people from the US and Puerto Rico taking part
in the extensive clean-up and repair work that followed Hurricane Georges in 1998. Earthtrain volunteers cleaned up debris from destroyed
buildings, helped to install a new water system, and rebuilt a meeting pavillion.
