A visit to Safe Passage is an invitation to experience our community in action — where education, opportunity, and partnership come together each day. Visitors see how learning extends beyond the classroom and how families, teachers, and students work together to break cycles of poverty in one of the most resourceful and resilient communities in Guatemala.
Whether you join us for a day on campus or travel as part of a Support Team, your presence strengthens a growing network of people committed to making the world more connected and just.
Seeing our programs in person brings the Safe Passage story to life. Visitors gain a deeper understanding of the daily realities facing our students and their families — and the strength, creativity, and collaboration that define our community.
You’ll meet educators, observe classes, and connect with students who are defining their futures. Visits also offer the chance to reflect on shared learning, service, and community building.
Visitors are welcomed on the last Wednesday of each month for a guided experience at our campus in Zone 3 of Guatemala City. During your visit, you can expect to:
We also offer the option to “Shadow a Day” through observing classroom learning, special activities, and program engagement firsthand.
We recommend that visitors be 14 years or older, accompanied by a chaperone for minors. Cultural sensitivity, respect, and privacy are essential — we ask all visitors to honor our school environment and follow photography, safety, and confidentiality guidelines shared before your visit.
For a deeper, service-oriented experience, consider organizing or joining a Safe Passage Support Team. These short-term volunteer trips bring groups from schools, churches, friends/family groups, and workplaces to collaborate with our staff and students on community projects.
Support Teams work closely with our partner travel agency, Old Town Outfitters, to coordinate logistics, accommodations, and on-the-ground activities. Together, we ensure that every visit is safe, meaningful, and aligned with our educational mission.
We recommend Support Team members be minimum of 16 years or older, with chaperones for younger participants.
Every visit helps expand the circle of understanding and support around our students and families. Visitors often return home inspired to share what they’ve learned, build new partnerships, or continue supporting Safe Passage through advocacy and giving.
Your engagement amplifies our mission and connects more people which often leads to more beautiful relationships and resources flowing.
