Join a Support Team

Support Teams are typically planned Sunday-Sunday with most teams arriving by dinner on the first Sunday of the Support Team week. Monday through Thursday is spent at the project engaging with our students and affiliates. Friday and Saturdays are free days for teams to explore Guatemala and the culture.  The second Sunday is typically a departure day for teams. 

Support Teams can be any group of people looking to spend a week serving at Safe Passage in Guatemala. Past teams have come from schools, community and religious organizations, and groups of friends who want to have a life-changing experience together.

Teams consist of anywhere from 8-13 people. Please note that all team members must be at least 15 years old upon arrival to Safe Passage and teams with minor participants must include one adult for every three team members under the age of 18.

To reserve your Support Team week, contact our office to confirm your desired dates are available. After confirmation, pay a $500 deposit to finalize your reservation. Our Support Team Coordinator will work with you closely through the rest of the planning process to make your preparations as easy as possible.

We occasionally have Open Teams available for individuals or smaller groups who wish to experience a Support Team week but cannot arrange a full team of their own. Contact our Support Team coordinator to inquire about upcoming Open Teams.

The Support Team fee is $750 per person at double or triple hotel room occupancy (single rooms are available for an additional cost). Teams are also encouraged to make an additional donation of $1500 – $2500 that goes directly to Safe Passage programs and services to our community.

The Support Team fee includes:

• Seven nights’ accommodations in Antigua, Guatemala
• Meals (excluding lunch on your free days and during transit)
• Private airport pick-up and drop-off
• Daily, private transportation between your hotel and Safe Passage

Many teams are able to fundraise 100% of their total trip costs, including the suggested donation. Our Support Team coordinator can help you plan a successful fundraising strategy!

From lodging and logistics to translation and travel, our Support Team Coordinator is here to assist you with every aspect of your visit. Our goal is to help your trip be memorable, meaningful, and empowering. We encourage you to read through our Support Team Handbook in advance of your planning.
