Do you want to be part of a major process of social change in Guatemala? If so, this is the perfect place for you. At Niños de Guatemala, we want to generate a social impact through education—the best tool for every child's future. That is why we invite you to be part of this fight against poverty in our communities through our Paid Volunteering Program as a Classroom Assistant. A Classroom Assistant will support the teacher at all times with whatever is needed. Additionally, you will be responsible for supervising the children in the teacher's absence. You will also, at times, become an integral member of the class to connect with the students and become that agent of change in their mindset. As an agent of change, you will become an important reference for each of the children in the schools. They will make this volunteering experience unique, and you, through your contribution and volunteer work, will provide them with an opportunity for change and future prosperity. We are Niños de Guatemala, changing lives through education.
