Join Mercy Volunteers in Guyana, where you help promote social change through compassionate service in the spirit of mutuality in education, healthcare, and social services. Placements include nursing or quality of life activities coordination in hospitals or long-term care facilities, as well as teaching or mentoring in elementary or high school settings. 

While serving, you live in an intentional community with other Mercy Volunteers, growing spiritually and living simply. The accommodation is a simple yet comfortable house in Georgetown, the capital city, and is furnished with essentials. It is located near local bus routes, as volunteers rely on local mini-buses for primary transportation needs. Receive support from the local community of Sisters and Associates of Mercy.

Found on the northern coast of South America, between Venezuela and Suriname, Guyana is known as the land of many waters. It has a tropical climate, as it sits below sea level and lies just 7 degrees north of the Equator. This Caribbean country is the only English-speaking country in South America.
