I recommend volunteering in guatemala to everyone
September 13, 2025by: Ava Colorado - CanadaProgram: Working with Kids—Volunteer in Guatemala!I recommend volunteering in guatemala to everyone! Working in a local daycare and school in Guatemala gave me the chance to connect with the kids and fully immerse myself in the vibrant culture. It was so meaningful!
Amazing experience!
June 14, 2025by: Anne Schwartz - United StatesProgram: Working with Kids—Volunteer in Guatemala!The home stay was comfortable, project placement was exhausting but so rewarding—I felt that I was actually making a difference. All of the pre-trip support was great, and the Maximo Nivel staff is supportive responsive, and so kind & fun!
Had a good time, but the school needs more staff.
June 14, 2025by: Rowan Kardos - United StatesProgram: Working with Kids—Volunteer in Guatemala!Living accommodations great, host family was fantastic but at the school needs one more person per group. I was with the babies age 6m to 2y and on Thursday and today Friday there were no teachers. Cooks helped out.

I traveled to many places, but as tourist only. I think I was just ready to take my experiences to a new level, really get to know the country as if I lived there. I traveled to India and China in the past, saw all the touristy places but didn't experience as much of their culture as I would like to. Volunteering in Guatemala was exactly what I was looking for: interaction with locals and living just like one of them.
