Latin American Foundation for the Future is a small but rapidly growing UK-registered charity which aims to give children and homes in Peru the tools and skills to build themselves an independent future, through education, vocational training, capacity-building and sustainability projects.

The role

You'll be working directly with our partners, beneficiaries and volunteers in Cusco to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate and communicate progress on a range of education and sustainability projects; Crucially, you'll help us work towards a vocational training programme for marginalised young people, supported by social enterprise, and you'll also be using your own skills to build capacity at our partner organisations helping them to become stronger, more independent organisations able to support even more marginalised young people.

Based in Cusco, Peru, you'll be working closely with partners, managing our team of long-term volunteers and be the lynch-pin of our overseas operations, supported by a remote internationally-located team.
