Enchanted Forest Art Therapy Volunteer Program in Belize
Kaya invites art students, carpenters, sculptors, landscape architects, and individuals passionate about art to join this Art Therapy Volunteering in San Ignacio, a town situated approximately two hours away from Belize City. Start any date of the year and stay from 2-12 weeks. The project is aimed at abused and troubled teens from 16 years old abandoned by the legal system. They are hosted in an eco-sustainable center with a farm-like setup. Here, they are provided with food and shelter security to help them heal and recover from a painful past. The farm empowers them to develop into financially independent young people. The Enchanted Forest project involves creating a magical place under the supervision of a lead artist from Mexico. Your group will combine landscaping and art to bring life to the forest area through artwork made from natural resources. You will also create a meditation area. Hence, an open mind, imagination, and creativity are vital to make this project successful.

I had a great time
December 20, 2023by: Alexandria Parker - United StatesEven though I was unfortunately by my self through some miscommunication throughout the program. I had a great time with my host family and the workers on the farm! They really made up for it and was able to support me throughout the whole time!
