Not all volunteering with PSF requires heavy lifting and dirty trousers. The day-to-day operation of a large group of projects and volunteers calls for essential administrative roles. All of our finances must be allotted and recorded, the multiple requests from members of the community must be organized and filed, and all the daily problems must be solved.

People from the local community come and ask for assistance building their homes and these requests must be assessed. This requires someone to go out into the community and visit homes to determine how we can help them. It is a great opportunity to meet the community, see how they live, and get involved with the running of the organization. It requires a good knowledge of Spanish and an observant eye for detail. 

Site Assessors required: PSF urgently needs volunteers with good Spanish and a minimum of 3 months commitment to process the large amount of requests for assistance that we receive.

To apply for this position please fill in a volunteer application form.

PSF is funded solely by volunteer contributions and donations. Without this funding, our important work in this community would be impossible. Fundraising is an important part of the organization, not just to raise funds to run the organization but also to fund projects such as those from the Miracle Fund and The Aceros Arequipa Housing Project. We always need grant writers and enthusiastic fundraisers to help keep us going. 

There are always opportunities for those volunteers who want to take on extra responsibilities and dedicate more time to fill a management role. As we expand and grow as an organization and our projects and community work get bigger, we will require an increasing number of people to commit to leadership roles.
