English & Tutoring Program, Quininà ​ (3 months)
After living and working in the coffee lands for a few months, you won't ever want to leave.

Workshops, all locations​ (1-2 days)
We are looking for volunteers to help lead workshops in the communities we work with. Workshops usually last from 3-8 hours, depending on the topic, and can be spread out over 2 days. Past workshops have covered topics such as classical music, environmental art, photography and serigraphy. We are always looking for new and interesting themes. Talk to us if you have an idea!

Volunteers on-call, worldwide (varies)
Rural communities, NGO's and small businesses aren't always able to afford the kinds of services that are needed to give them a competitive edge. For that reason, we are looking for volunteers on-call that would be willing to help out with services such as videography, web and/or graphics design, marketing materials & translating, amongst other things. It doesn't matter whether you live in Colombia or abroad, if you are willing to share your talents to help out a local community, NGO or small business please contact us to inquire about becoming an Interchange volunteer on-call.
