The U.S. Embassy in Quito is seeking volunteers to serve as Citizen Liaison Volunteers (CLVs), previously known as Wardens. These volunteers play a crucial role in assisting the Embassy with various tasks related to the welfare of U.S. citizens.
CLVs are private citizens who provide support to travelers facing difficulties, assist in locating missing U.S. citizens, and help ensure safety during emergencies such as natural disasters. They also act as the 'eyes and ears' of the Embassy within the community, offering insights into the experiences of U.S. citizens residing in Ecuador.
The position is typically filled by U.S. citizens who have been long-term residents of Ecuador. It is important to note that this is a voluntary role without financial compensation.
