Volunteering
Since the communities we work with run their own programs, Coffee Kids does not offer volunteer opportunities. Some of our partners offer opportunities for interested, qualified individuals. If you have skills to offer one of our partner organizations, please download the volunteer application and e-mail it to International Program Coordinator José Luis Zárate at .

Educate those around you
Share what you have learned about the realities of life in coffee-growing communities by educating those around you. Tell your friends and family about Coffee Kids and increase awareness of life in coffee-farming communities. Check out our Education page for sample materials.

Point-of-Origin Trips
Coffee Kids occasionally organizes point-of-origin trips to visit the communities where we work. On these trips you’ll not only have the opportunity to see how coffee is produced, but you’ll be able to see firsthand how Coffee Kids efforts are improving lives. For more information on upcoming trips, visit our blog or check our press releases. Trips are generally organized in the fall to coincide with the coffee harvest.
