Empowering Communities Through Sustainable Tourism

We foster economic and social development through meaningful tourism, empowering local communities while coordinating international volunteer brigades to create a brighter, inclusive future for all.

Our Mission
Join Our Journey

We are a group named: Change for Ecuador, a foundation born from the deep desire to create real, positive change in the communities that need it most in my country.

Empower Communities

We believe change starts with small actions, which is why we connect young volunteers from U.S. universities with vulnerable communities in Ecuador. Our program offers a complete volunteer experience, from helping in rural schools and community clinics to exploring Ecuador's rich culture and biodiversity with visits to places like Mindo, Baños, and the Middle of the World.

Volunteering with us is not just an opportunity to serve, it’s a life-changing experience. Here, young people don’t just teach, heal, or support, they also learn. They learn about life, about solidarity, and about themselves.

Change for Ecuador provides accommodation, meals, airport transportation, and most importantly, a family. Because beyond the work, what we truly want is for every volunteer to feel part of this land and its people.

If you’re someone who wants to make a difference, grow as a person, and live something truly unique, we invite you to join us. Together, we can build a fairer, more supportive, and opportunity-filled Ecuador for everyone.

Thank you.
