Nurture and care for young children when you volunteer with our Infant Care Program in Santiago, Chile.

As a volunteer with our Infant Care Program, you will be working at an orphanage and shelter for babies and toddlers in the heart of Santiago. Often orphaned or abandoned by their families, these young children are placed in the protective custody of our partner organization in Chile. The children live in the shelter until they are adopted or placed with family members that can take better care of them.

Volunteers in Santiago will be involved in the daily tasks of caring for babies and toddlers. You will feed, bathe, and change them, and you will also play with them and give them the one-on-one attention they deserve. As a volunteer with our Infant Care Program, you will be filling an important role in the lives of these needy children, as well as assisting the hardworking staff at the shelter.

As a volunteer you will be:
Feeding the children
Changing and bathing the children
Playing with the children
Assisting staff in the maintenance of the shelter
