Do you feel called to help empower, heal, and educate the people of Guatemala?
Consider serving with Project Salud y Paz.
Salud y Paz is recruiting new volunteers for various positions throughout the organization. Curious what it would be like to serve with us? Here are some things you might like to know:
- Volunteers live in the town of Panajachel on Lake Atitlan and serve primarily at the main clinic in Camanchaj, which is about 45 minutes away
- For all volunteers, some expenses are covered, such as Internet and work-related phone use
- Stipends are available for some positions, as determined by the Executive Director
- Spanish is important, so if you don’t already speak fluently, you’ll need to take 4-6 weeks of Spanish lessons either before arriving in Guatemala or after you’ve arrived but before you begin serving with the organization
- On average, it costs approximately $10,000 per person per year to live and serve with Project Salud y Paz. Depending on your lifestyle, this can vary greatly.
- Serving is about relationships, so you’ll get to know other volunteers, Guatemalan staff and volunteers, patients, and visiting mission teams
- Knowledge of driving a manual transmission is very valuable, but not required
- We’ll create a position that best utilizes your skills and gifts. Keep in mind the jobs listed only give a general idea of how you might serve.
- Volunteers are expected to complete the Individual Volunteer Training hosted by the United Methodist Church’s General Board of Global Ministries.
