BUILDING NEW HOPE
Building New Hope is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization based in Pittsburgh and Nicaragua. In Nicaragua, they partner with a worker-owned organic coffee cooperative, operate two supplemental schools for at-risk youth, and provide high school scholarships for students in need. Their mission is simple: help those in need by providing educational opportunities and fair prices for goods and services. For more than a decade, they have purchased coffee from El Porvenir according to Fair Trade principles, helping the cooperative to stay out of debt, replace aging coffee plants, build a health clinic and expand educational opportunities for young people.
Nicaragua based volunteer opportunities:
Applicants must have advanced to fluent Spanish language ability. Their Nicaraguan teaching staff most need support in ESL and sharing expertise in music, art, or technology and STEAM. They ask that volunteers come with lessons plans prepped. If groups would like to visit their supplemental schools as part of their time in Granada, Nicaragua, please contact us for possibilities and more information.
