Safe Passage Volunteer Information
Whether working directly with children at our main project site or at our early education center, both near the Guatemala City garbage dump, or by assisting in our offices in Antigua, you can make a significant difference in the lives of poor children and their families by being a Safe Passage volunteer.
Volunteers are a vital and essential part of our program. They work in collaboration with our Guatemalan staff and other volunteers to provide the educational and emotional support necessary for the children in our project to break free from their surrounding poverty through the power of education.
The qualities and skills that our volunteers share with the children are many: a sense of self-worth and dignity, the motivation and perseverance to overcome a difficult challenge, creativity, confidence, respect for others, the ability to think critically to solve problems, and how to give generously of one’s time, energy and talent.
