Volunteer Las Cruces

This is a grass-roots volunteer program located in Las Cruces, Petén, Guatemala. Volunteers work in Las Cruces and the surrounding rural communities on projects set up by the town hall. These projects usually focus on women's rights and gender equality. It is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in Guatemalan culture, off the typical tourist trail, but still within a stone's throw from popular attractions such as Flores, the jungles of Petén, Tikal and other Mayan archeological sites.

This opportunity would suit those travelling independently through Central America who wish to spend some time volunteering along the way. While there is no fee to participate in this program, our volunteers will have to pay for their food and accommodation.

It is advantageous to have at least a basic level of Spanish, as volunteers will be working in communities where the vast majority of people cannot speak English.
