About Program
Guatemala lives in technicolor. Everywhere you go, the vibrant indigos, reds, greens and yellows are a reminder of a history that transcends time, is still home to traditions that date back thousands of years and remains very much alive today. Active volcanoes and black sand beaches to colorful cities and crowded markets, it’s evident just how much this small country has to offer. It’s amazing how so much is packed in to such a condensed area.
Volunteer in Guatemala for 9 days while learning about global health issues, providing care to populations with little or no access, experiencing Guatemalan culture, and gaining perspective on the global landscape. Our teams work in various settings from urban centers to small towns and villages in remote areas to provide field clinics in which we assess and treat patients.
Minimum of two volunteers required.

Location
Antigua was the capital of Guatemala prior to a major earthquake that left most of the city in ruins. Guatemala city then became the capital, and Antigua city returned into a small town until the whole city was deemed a UNESCO world heritage site. Attractions include monuments and buildings, as they preserve Guatemala's historical beauty and showcase the Spanish influence in the area.
