We are always looking for enthusiastic and energetic people to join us at Volunteer WindAid.

Volunteer WindAid offers an inclusive 5-week volunteer program during which volunteers build and install a wind turbine and present it for free to a community in Peru.

However, if you are a volunteer with more time on your hands Volunteer WindAid can provide volunteer opportunities. Working with Volunteer WindAid provides an ideal opportunity for you to gain experience working on sustainable projects, helping encourage conservation and educating people on the benefits of appropriate and renewable technologies.

Be it a gap year, sabbatical, career break or simply a change of career you have the chance to be directly involved in making a positive and long lasting difference in the lives of people living in Peru.

There are a variety of roles you can fill at Volunteer WindAid, be it building wind turbines, searching for, meeting and preparing communities for receiving wind turbines or developing and designing appropriate and renewable technologies to be used as alternative energy solutions.

The normal working hours for volunteers are 9am - 6pm, Monday to Friday. Proficiency in Spanish is not essential but ability to speak the language will increase your opportunities with Volunteer WindAid.

If you are interested in what we are trying to achieve and wish to volunteer please complete the volunteer application form.
