IVHQ Guatemala

I had an amazing time volunteering with IVHQ Guatemala in their medical and healthcare program. I found the application process to be very easy and straightforward forward. Also, IVHQ staff contacts were provided for questions before and during the trip. It was an amazing way to see a new country from a lens other than just being a tourist.

Experience another country, language and culture with confidence

Volunteering through IVHQ is a safe way to travel due to support from both IVHQ and the local organization. It allows an opportunity to experience another country, language and culture with confidence that you still have support if you need it! I’ve done 2 programs now, and would not hesitate to go again!
