Guatemala Volunteer Experience

I wish I knew about this program when I was younger because it's a really great way to meet new people, get started in traveling while doing great things for a community, and immerse yourself into a culture. Maximo Nivel did a great job preparing me before the for the trip in getting all the necessary documentation to start volunteering. Orientation could have been a little bit more specific during the initial stages, however after we got the ball everything fell into place. During the trip, I felt there was great positive support from all of Maximo Nivel staff members. I also did the mini trip that was an option, and I'm really glad I did it, but it may not have been the most cost effective route. However that being said, it was the best route for me with my limited time here at Guatemala and I got to see a little of everything.
