Volunteers’ Stories
Learn about our program from our volunteers! The links and quotes below come from past participants in our summer program. Some have kept blogs, others have written articles about their experiences, some gave advice for future volunteers, and some gave us written feedback that we asked to share with you here. Have fun reading their stories!
If you’d like to be put in touch with a former VEP volunteer and hear their stories yourself, please email us at volunteer@villageeducation.org!

In Summer 2009, she not only worked as a volunteer, but did the research to get the ball rolling on building our very own secondary school in the Ecuadorian highlands. Read her blog about her experiences here.
