What we actually need

  • Remote

    Grant research and writing

    Finding funders we are eligible for, and writing applications that stand up to scrutiny.

  • Remote

    Translation

    Spanish and English, both directions, for reports, applications and programme material.

  • Remote

    Design and web

    Keeping this site current, and making the material we send to donors clear.

  • Remote

    Accounting and legal

    US nonprofit compliance, Colombian entity questions, and the parts of both that we are not expert in.

  • In Colombia

    Distribution teams

    Loading, travelling, and handing out relief packages. Physical, unglamorous, essential.

  • In Colombia

    Teaching and mentoring

    In the Transformation Centers and in the leadership cohorts.

What serving actually looks like

Three Fundación Cloud volunteers sitting on plastic chairs peeling potatoes at a market, smiling at the camera.
El Calvario, Cali. Most of serving looks like this. Someone has to peel the potatoes.
A Fundación Cloud volunteer taking a selfie with about ten other volunteers, including cooks in aprons, outside a street kitchen.
El Calvario, Cali. The team you would be joining — cooks, drivers, musicians, people who carry things.

If you are hoping for a week that feels transformative, this may disappoint you. If you are willing to peel potatoes, carry boxes and do the same thing again on Thursday, you will be genuinely useful and we would be glad to have you.

Anyone who will work with children, young people or survivors of trafficking is screened before they begin. There are no exceptions, including for short trips.

Tell us what you can do

We read everything that comes in and we will tell you honestly whether we need what you are offering. A short, specific message is more useful than a long enthusiastic one.

We aim to reply within one week.

If money is the more useful thing you have

$5 feeds one person in El Calvario. $2,250 runs the kitchen for a full week — all three serving days, 450 meals.
