Volunteer Groups

At Long Way Home we encourage you to think of your trip as a chance to integrate into the Guatemalan community through various service opportunities while simultaneously taking advantage of the rich cultural opportunities within your grasp. As international volunteers working side-by-side with local people and fellow volunteers you will make a meaningful contribution.

Our site can handle up to 15 participants. We feel that smaller groups yield greater opportunities for everyone to interact with community members, as well as maintain cohesiveness within the group. We also offer service trips to a variety of participants:

• Corporate organizations
• Professionals/Non-denominational groups
• Church youth and adult groups
• College students /High Schl Students over age 18

* No special skills are required as we provide full instruction;, however, various skills can be useful for various projects. Special project placements will be given for applicants with specific expertise.

Registration

The process is fairly simple. Your group coordinator will need to submit a volunteer group application on behalf of the entire group. Once your program is approved, you will need to have all of the members of your group fill out an invidividual volunteer application and release form. You can find all necessary documents here. You can find out about all program costs and a suggested donations that help us finance your visit here.
