Please see our list of volunteer positions.

While we strive to work with volunteers to place them in their desired positions, we place the needs of our children first. Please be willing to be flexible in your assignments.

Whether working directly with children at our main project site or at our early education center, both near the Guatemala City garbage dump, or by assisting in our offices in Antigua, you can make a significant difference in the lives of poor children and their families by being a Safe Passage volunteer.

Volunteers are a vital and essential part of our program. They work in collaboration with our Guatemalan staff and other volunteers to provide the educational and emotional support necessary for the children in our project to break free from their surrounding poverty through the power of education.

The qualities and skills that our volunteers share with the children are many: a sense of self-worth and dignity, the motivation and perseverance to overcome a difficult challenge, creativity, confidence, respect for others, the ability to think critically to solve problems, and how to give generously of one’s time, energy and talent.

By sharing these gifts, our volunteers affirm for the children that they are capable, competent, cared for, and loved.

We are always looking for energetic and dedicated people to be a part of our volunteer team. Please see our most recent list of volunteer positions. If you are ready to have your heart tugged, your mind stretched, your muscles exhausted, and your sense of justice for the world enlarged, contact us to find out more.
