The Volunteer’s Role
Join us as a volunteer with Cuso International to make a real impact in Peru! We’re looking for an experienced individual to help design an innovative education program in collaboration with the Canada Peru Chamber of Commerce (CCCP). Your mission? To engage school communities in understanding the importance of responsible mining for Peru’s economic and social development. This unique assignment offers the opportunity to build a long-term educational initiative that brings together the private sector, educational institutions, and public stakeholders to promote informed dialogue, critical thinking, and evidence-based learning about the mining sector. The volunteer will play a key role in developing the program framework, stakeholder engagement strategy, educational approach, and implementation model that will guide the Chamber's future outreach efforts. Because the program addresses a strategic and highly relevant sector for Peru, candidates should have an understanding of the mining context or previous professional exposure to the mining, natural resources, extractive industries, or related sectors. This knowledge will be essential to ensure that the educational content is balanced, credible, contextually relevant, and aligned with international principles of responsible mining and sustainable development. If you’re ready to blend your expertise with meaningful volunteer work and help create a program with lasting national impact, we want to hear from you!
As a volunteer, your duties will include
In-depth Research and Context Analysis: Conduct comprehensive research on Peru’s mining sector, regulatory environment, public perception, and existing education-related initiatives. Stakeholder Mapping and Engagement Strategy (CCCP-led): Identify key stakeholders (government, companies, schools, NGOs) and design a clear engagement strategy for the Chamber, including how to approach, involve, and sustain their participation. Program Design and Structuring (Chamber-led Initiative): Develop a comprehensive program framework including objectives, target audiences, key messages, formats (talks, panels, materials), and a phased implementation approach. Operational and Logistical Model Design: Define how the program can be executed by the Chamber, including school selection criteria, geographic rollout strategy, coordination mechanisms, and options for regional activation (e.g., local support or partners). Educational Content and Material Guidelines: Propose the structure, tone, and key messages of educational materials to ensure they are accessible, balanced, and aligned with responsible and formal mining principles.
Essential Qualifications
Undergraduate degree in Education, Social Sciences, Communications, Public Policy, International Development, or a related field
Essential Background
Experience in research, analysis, and synthesis of complex information Experience in program or project design Experience developing structured reports, frameworks, or strategic recommendations
What’s in it for YOU? A life-changing experience!
