About the Project

ICYE Bolivia strives to integrate diverse cultures, social classes, ethnicities, genders, and ideologies, while also training young Bolivians to understand and engage with their reality. Our core mission is to encourage the rediscovery of valuable cultural traditions and to deepen comprehension of local, national, and international challenges. By cultivating social sensitivity, we aim to inspire positive action that shapes a better environment for all.

The National ICYE Bolivia Office manages both incoming international volunteers and outgoing Bolivian volunteers participating in ICYE, WW, and IJFD programs. We coordinate three regional offices (Santa Cruz, Sucre, and Cochabamba) and serve as the central link between regional coordinators, projects, and volunteers. In addition to managing projects in La Paz and El Alto, the national office orchestrates essential volunteer support, including camps, training sessions, and meetings. We provide personal assistance, mediate relationships between volunteers, host families, and projects, handle bureaucratic processes, offer learning opportunities, and actively promote ICYE Bolivia’s activities through various outreach channels, including fairs, presentations, and our online presence.
