Online volunteers are always welcome at La Esperanza and we're open to new ideas as to how you can volunteer with us.
Specifically, La Esperanza Granada is seeking skilled and passionate individuals to be virtual volunteers in areas such as translation, writing and editing, design and administration.
Now more than ever we need help raising funds. The 2018 protests in Nicaragua meant La Esperanza was hit by a decrease in tourism. Now, the COVID crisis has further challenged our work. If you're able to help us with fundraising projects in your own country and/or online, we would be thrilled.
The aforementioned volunteers are valuable throughout the year and time commitments are entirely flexible. Volunteers in this role should have at least advanced level English and additional language requirements vary depending on responsibilities.

About La Esperanza Granada
Location:
calle Corrales,costado noreste conv. San Francisco, Granada, Nicaragua, NI
Mission Statement
Our mission: By providing opportunities and resources for the long term educational advancement and community development of the Granadino barrios, we hope to brighten the future of the children and empower each community so that they can break the cycle of poverty. At La Esperanza Granada, we believe in giving a hand up, not a handout.
Description
Located in Granada, Nicaragua, La Esperanza Granada is a non-profit organization with a primary focus on creating opportunities for children through education. 'Born’ in 2002, we started in one small village and now provide learning opportunities to more than 2,000 underprivileged children living in the barrios of Granada.
We are a nonprofit, nonpolitical, nondenominational organization, funded by donations of individuals, groups, service groups, schools etc. Donations are used for building new classrooms and schools, contributing to teacher’s salaries, and various things to help improve education and health for the children, such as making copies of exams and worksheets, buying textbooks, dental visits, sports supplies, school repairs and a never ending list of needs in this impoverished country.
The coronavirus crisis has damaged tourism in Nicaragua, reducing our funds and international volunteer numbers. Despite this, La Esperanza has persisted. The staff and the children here are extremely excited to welcome back our international volunteers!
Granada is a beautiful colonial city, on the shore of Lake Cocibolca and surrounded by volcanoes. The beach is never far away. There’s safe and accessible transport service within Granada and connecting it to surrounding areas. While Nicaragua has no official Covid restrictions, citizens generally follow Covid safety protocols
