As a Board Member of Xela Aid, I encourage you to consider volunteering with us!

I have been involved with Xela Aid since 1995 and have participated in many trips to Guatemala (I have co-directed two trips). These experiences have been amongst the most meaningful in my life and in addition to making friends with people from Guatemala, have gotten to know many new people from the USA and beyond. As a gay man in the Los Angeles area I have been fully embraced by everyone and truly treasure each relationship I have made through Xela Aid.

What sets Xela Aid apart from other programs is that we have decades of experience working in the highlands of Guatemala. In addition, Xela Aid has a comfortable lodge to house individuals with good food and drink to boot!.
