WindAid Volunteer Program

Our aim is to introduce wind energy thru combined efforts directly connecting volunteers and the community. This allows both the community and volunteers to learn about the construction, maintenance, and longevity of not just their wind turbines, but a globally oriented consciousness. Every community gets electricity, and the knowledge of how to use it.

Volunteers from all walks of life gain proficiencies in working with things such as; airfoils, metallurgy, fiber and resin composites, electronics, control systems, and turbine science thru research and development. Moreover volunteers are able to get to know Peru, and grow lifetime bonds with like-minded people from around the world. The groups travel in Peru together, and directly interact with rural communities, planning, installing, and maintaining turbine sites throughout their time here.
