Board Members

Our international Board of Directors along with our leadership in Guatemala and the United States work together to advance our mission and impact the lives of thousands of people across the world.

Safe Passage embodies our values of representative leadership, with a majority-woman Board of Directors, Guatemalan leaders as Chair and Vice President of the Board, 8/18 Guatemalan members, and 8/18 members currently living in Guatemala. Coupled with a staff Leadership Team that is 80% Guatemalan and internal processes and structures that center local leadership, power, and expertise– Safe Passage lives our commitment to model what we know our students are capable of: growing into their own powerful leadership to change their communities and country for the better.
