Get Involved!
As a small nonprofit, we appreciate all the help that friends, family, schools and community members are able to provide. We value every individual’s collaboration and interest in the project, and acknowledge that without our volunteers, donors and fundraisers, we would not be able to provide the young women of the Sacred Valley with educational support.
If you want to positively affect the lives of young women from indigenous communities, have a fulfilling experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life or explore the multifaceted aspects of running a non-profit, the Sacred Valley Project is happy to have you join our team!
