Young Life in Peru

Young Life has been operating in Peru for the better part of a decade, mainly in the Lima area, with ministries to both poor and middle class communities.  Groups will work on projects that benefit and serve the local Young Life areas in Lima, as well as on projects in rural local neighborhoods.  Additionally, groups may choose to serve in the interior city of Pucallpa, near the Amazon region.  Groups that travel to Pucallpa will serve at a school established for the disabled.  El Refugio de Esperanza, or “The Refuge of Hope” is a place where disabled youth and adults learn vocational skills in the context of a Christ-centered community.
Groups might also serve as work crew for Young Life Peru outreach camps and visit local Young Life clubs.  There will be opportunities for sightseeing at the conclusion of service trips.

Peru... At A Glance

It's the multicultural layers of great civilisations that make Peru so intriguing. You can wander around colonial cities that have preserved the legacy of the Spanish conquistadors, visit the ancient Inca capital of Cuzco, explore the lost city of Machu Picchu and ponder the enigma of the Nazca Lines.
 
It also has some of the most spectacular and varied scenery in South America. The Peruvian Andes are arguably the most beautiful on the continent and they issue a siren's call to world-class mountaineers and trekkers alike. These mountains are also home to millions of indigenous highlanders, who still speak the ancient tongue of Quechua and maintain a traditional way of life.
