We are a local peace initiative that focuses on supporting social enterprises because we have personally experienced how art; music and dance have transformed formerly violent neighbourhoods in Medellin.
We are looking for enthusiastic and driven individuals who can help us transform local projects in the creative sector of Medellin into economically sustainable social enterprises.
In order to support local neighbourhoods and the international community we are looking for both short term and long term volunteers.
The short term volunteers do not need to have any experience in a particular field and fluency in the Spanish language is a pre; but is not required. These volunteers would help us organise the 7th annual “MasterPeace Global Bootcamp in the beginning of October. In this bootcamp 45 global peace leaders will participate in workshops to improve their skills in leadership; peace building; community work and social entrepreneurship. After this bootcamp is finished we are organising other events that promote these values and work towards a more peaceful society. Volunteers who could help during the bootcamp receive free food; can participate in workshops and get to meet many inspiring people.
Long term voluntary positions are more similar to internships and these interns will help to compose a team that provides economic advice to local initiatives in the creative sector; because this sector is extremely important to transform formerly violent neighbourhoods in Medellin. It would be very helpful if these volunteers have any experience with marketing; fundraising; event managing; translating or photography. Conversational knowledge of Spanish is required for most positions because there will be a lot of interaction with locals. We are an officially registered NGO so if you need approval for certain academic purposes; we can provide this.
We have many kinds of positions available; also positions that are for a longer time; so please do not hesitate to apply.
2-14 October, 2018 for bootcamp. Longer term opportunities available
2 weeks for bootcamp, 2 months for longer term volunteers
Adults of both sexes 18+
For one of the positions a knowledge of both the Spanish and the English language is required but for the majority of the positions fluency in English is sufficient. Experience in event managing and hospitality is a pre but not required. All the positions require the volunteer to be social, take initiative and be independent.
: The program does not cost anything, but because we are an NGO we are unfortunately unable to provide accommodation (but we can provide assistance in finding a suitable accommodation). Food will be provided throughout the bootcamp and you have the opportunity to participate in numerous workshops of your choosing.
