Volunteer

Volunteer opportunities are remote and open to everyone.

Volunteering with WindAid is a chance to make a tangible impact by bringing clean energy to communities without reliable electricity. It’s more than just building wind turbines—it’s about empowering people, gaining hands-on experience, and learning about renewable energy in Peru. Whether you're passionate about sustainability, eager to make a difference, or looking to expand your horizons.

We are looking for volunteers to help with accounting, communications, fundraising, marketing, and social media. As a registered nonprofit, WindAid can validate your accumulated volunteer hours.
