Programs

MPI’s two international sites are located in Managua, Nicaragua and Quito, Ecuador where teams of 8 to 12 yearlong volunteers called Program Directors (PDs) implement and grow a wide array of programs addressing community needs. Programs target communities in need and are designed to provide access to basic education, healthcare, recreational resources, and economic opportunity. MPI aims for a holistic approach to community development, meaning volunteers work with people of all ages and in various aspects of their lives.

Stateside campus chapters are another aspect of MPI’s outreach. Founded by and comprised of college students, chapters spread MPI’s core values at several U.S. universities. In addition to local service activities chapters raise poverty awareness through fundraising events and group trips to MPI’s international sites.
