Based in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, our Medical Volunteer Program is built on long-term partnerships with trusted local clinics and health initiatives. Our work is led by the needs of these organizations, so volunteers are placed where they are genuinely wanted and can contribute responsibly.

Healthcare access in Guatemala is unequal, especially in rural and low-income areas. Volunteers work alongside local professionals supporting mobile clinics, maternal and child health programs, nutrition outreach, sanitation workshops, and public health initiatives.

Ethical volunteering is central: you will never work beyond your training but will gain hands-on, ground-level experience, learning how community-led healthcare operates.

We carefully match each volunteer based on Spanish level, experience, interests, and time commitment. Some placements require medical training or stronger language skills, while others suit students or those exploring a future in healthcare.

This immersive program offers a chance to witness challenges firsthand, assist meaningful projects, and contribute to lasting, locally driven impact while learning from the people shaping healthcare in their communities.
