    About Superlearner OdV

    Superlearner OdV, established in 2018 in Italy, is on a mission to enrich the lives of children in vulnerable environments. Operating primarily in Lima's San Juan de Miraflores district, we are dedicated to providing diverse educational initiatives to those most in need. Our dynamic learning environment offers   classes in languages, arts and sports, all of which are delivered with the enthusiastic support of our global volunteers.

    Our committed team also extends its services beyond education, and includes psychologists and nutritionists who conduct free medical visits to families in need, collaborating with the Pamplona Alta health center.

    Join Us

    Explore opportunities such as teaching (e.g., English, Math, Art), or consider contributing in areas such as  Psychology, Nutrition, Agriculture, or Social Media. If nothing fits for you, think about proposing a new position/project! Submit your CV and, if applicable, a motivation letter. After reviewing your application, we'll schedule an interview with you. Successful candidates will receive a welcome email with onboarding details.

    There is a one-time membership fee of 10 USD/EUR, which helps cover our administration costs. We do not ask for any additional fees throughout the entire volunteer project. As a result, we are unable to provide accommodation, meals, or any other services.

    Be part of creating a positive impact and fostering a community where children feel empowered, capable, and worthy!
