If you want to make an impact but struggle to commit to a period of months in Guatemala, our virtual volunteering program may be a better fit for you. 

There are positions available for people who can volunteer regularly, for a few hours a week or month, offering support via online tools. This volunteer program allows us to offer more flexibility to volunteers whilst still offering extra services and support to the students in Guatemala.

US CITIZENS AND RESIDENTS ONLY

Safe Passage is proud to be a certifying organization for the U.S. President’s Volunteer Service Award. Through the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, this is a volunteer service award granted by the President of the United States to honor U.S. citizens for their volunteer service. 

This award honors individuals whose service positively impacts communities in every corner of the world and inspires those around them to take action, too; it is based on the number of volunteer service hours worked.

There are 4 levels of awards: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and the Lifetime Achievement Award depending on how many hours you complete with Safe Passage. Volunteers receive a personalized certificate of recognition, a congratulatory letter from the President and an official pin.

To apply for this award, please let us know on arrival that you are interested in working towards it and we will do the rest.
