Volunteering
Many support teams go to Safe Passage during the school breaks. For example this year a group of Bowdoin students traveled to Guatemala for their alternative spring break. There are also opportunities to travel to Guatemala as a long term volunteer. These people stay for a minimum of five weeks, and many of them tend to stay longer. They can live with a host family, stay in a hostel, or live in their own apartment, in Antigua. The volunteers are picked up every day by a bus that takes them to Safe Passage in Guatemala City. Long term volunteers work in the classroom, assisting teachers and students in the classroom. Volunteers also work in the offices located in Yarmouth.
