Membership in action!

Membership (update May 2025)

Everyone that supports the work of Perucano starts as a volunteer. In order to launch an initiative into a project, they join as a member, which provides a mechanism to develop and even pitch their interests and projects to the assembly, the Executive Board members, International Advisory Board members, and other community leaders. Our current projects and programs provide professional development opportunities and pathways to incubate new areas of our work. All of our work is driven by our goals to realize the Sustainable Development Goals.

Below you will learn more about our executive leadership, international advisors, and our membership in Latin America.
