VOLUNTEER PLACEMENT FEES CAN NOT BE USED TOWARDS HOMESTAY AND DONATION FEES IN GUATEMALA
Costs cover family homestay with 3 meals a day, application processing, supervision, and an informal evaluation, a resource-building monetary donation to various community development projects, and participation in the school’s daily social and cultural activities when possible according to the volunteer’s schedule. Such activities include field trips, excursions, and seminars.
There is no cost to volunteer part-time as a tutor in our La Pedrera Project’s Educational Reinforcement Classes.
After receiving your registration and deposit, our USA office will call you for a telephone interview. Acceptance into the program is two-part: you must pass the telephone interview from the USA office, and you must submit a viable proposal which is reviewed and decided upon by staff in the Guatemalan office.
If you are accepted, you can pay the balance of your account upon arrival at the school in Guatemala by cash, personal check, traveler’s check, or credit card (10% commission fee for credit card use).
