Marine Conservation Volunteering in Mexico

I volunteered with IVHQ for their Christmas program in Antigua, Guatemala. This was my first experience with IVHQ and I will definitely volunteer with them again. I stayed with a local family who were kind, thoughtful and made me feel right at home. The accommodations were modest but clean and comfortable. The Christmas program was a great experience because we had the opportunity to do a variety of activities including working with seniors and children, picking coffee beans, and a cultural immersion. I appreciate that IVHQ partners with local organizations on the ground.

From the exceptional service and the kindness of everyone I met, to the impressive results achieved, my experience surpassed all expectations. Thank you for your dedication—your warm hospitality, clear communication, and sincere care for volunteers have left a lasting, positive impression on everyone involved. Through your unwavering commitment, you cultivate genuine connections and encourage personal growth, making the journey both richer and more meaningful.
