Year-Round Internship & Volunteering

Volunteers in our after-school and vacation camps, as well as our experiential learning programs, work alongside our staff to serve the children and youth of Copán while developing their organization, interpersonal skills, and individual talents. Interacting with people from different cultures (Spanish-speaking or not) is a valuable experience for our kids, as they learn to love and accommodate people who are different from them.

UPH offers internships to young adults who desire to work with children and youth, who want to experience life in a different culture and are looking to be challenged and stretched to become more mission-focused persons. Interns help plan & run Vacation Camps and Volunteers work at our After-School and Youth Leadership Programs, and stay between 1 month and a year. Our Intern  & Volunteer Program is ideal for students who want to travel and make a difference during their Gap Year, Study Abroad, Summer Vacation or J-term.
