Description

The Snapshot in Belize program is identical to our Volunteer in Belize in virtually every respect, except that we have made special provisions for the fact that volunteers are in-country for only one week providing specific projects to complete.

Experience volunteering in Belize for just one week. Our one week Volunteer in Belize Program gives participants the opportunity to work side by side with local people and experience another culture like never before. Volunteers are matched to communities immediate needs through our placement process, ensuring that the work is both timely and relevant. Placements are in the areas of:

* Education
* Health
* Conservation
* Community Development
* Social Services

The Snapshot in Belize program duration is for (7days) one week only. This program is open to participants year round; we recommend arriving and departing on Saturdays.
