Voluntary work in Guatemala

If you are passionate about wildlife voluntary work in Guatemala is a superb career break option. Guatemala has 19 different ecosystems, ranging from cloud forest to coastal mangrove swamps – and the majority of voluntary work in Guatemala is focussed on protecting the unique wildlife that lives within them. Aside from the fact that you’re helping protect vulnerable wildlife voluntary work in Guatemala is also a great way to get to know local people properly by working alongside them on a daily basis – gaining a privileged insight in to local culture in the process.

Guatemala voluntary work

We have two superb Guatemala voluntary work programmes, both of which are dedicated to protecting some of Guatemala’s most threatened wildlife. If you would like your Guatemala voluntary work to help a diverse range of animals a particularly rewarding option is to help out at a wildlife rescue centre – where many of the animals have been rescued from illegal black market traders. Alternatively you could also opt for a career break Guatemala voluntary work project which helps protect Guatemala’s sea turtle and caiman populations. Both of our Guatemala voluntary work programmes include comprehensive Spanish tuition.
