Volunteer


Volunteers have participated in hundreds of missions since the 1970’s. Volunteers are members and non-members of PAMS, who travel to Perú at their own expense, motivated by a passion to help those in desperate need. Volunteers usually extend their mission trip to visit Perú's amazing tourist destinations such as Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and other areas.

Medical Volunteers include physicians, nurses, dentists, paramedics, medical students
Non-Medical Volunteers are individuals of all backgrounds that are motivated to help others.  

Please contact the Mission Director or Program Director to obtain more information about a specific mission.
