Join a Promise Expedition and get ready for a life-changing experience in the Peruvian Amazon! We need medical volunteers (doctors, dentists, nurses, physician assistants, etc.) and non-medical volunteers. We offer special internship opportunities for medical professionals, including medical, physician assistant, public health and nursing students. We simply ask our volunteers to adopt a sense of adventure and a willingness to work hard!
Your volunteer experience is not free, but we do everything we can to keep costs to a minimum. Your contribution of hands-on fieldwork plus the financial donation you make through your expedition fee is the backbone of the help Amazon Promise gives to the people of Peru.
