This critical US volunteer program, based in vibrant New Orleans, works on a range of environmental projects to repair the ill effects of climate change and promote sustainable practices in daily life. Our future depends on volunteers committed to making a difference. It is well recognized that past activities have adversely impacted our climate, in particular, rising sea levels, increased average temperatures, and extreme weather events. The USA faces these challenges along with the rest of the world, and it is increasingly evident that actions must be taken to respond and adapt to these changes. This program provides local organizations with a much-needed volunteer workforce to assist with projects crucial to the future of our environment.

More Than I Ever Imagined – A Life-Changing Medical Mission Experience

My medical mission trip to Antigua, Guatemala with International Volunteer HQ (IVHQ) was more than I ever imagined. From start to finish, the program was incredibly well organized, safe, and meaningful. I felt supported every step of the way, which allowed me to fully focus on learning, serving, and connecting with the community. As an LPN, I had the opportunity to work in a clinic setting where I assisted with assessments, participated in daily activities, and spent quality time with elderly patients. Working with the elders was especially impactful — not only providing care, but listening to them, learning from them, and simply being present. It was an experience that strengthened both my clinical skills and my compassion as a nurse. The host family experience was equally amazing. They were warm, welcoming, and truly made me feel at home. The food was incredible, and I appreciated learning more about Guatemalan culture through daily life with them. It added such depth to the overall experience. The tours and cultural experiences offered through the program were absolutely out of this world. Exploring Antigua and the surrounding areas was unforgettable and helped me better understand the country, its history, and its people. This trip pushed me personally and professionally in the best way possible. I gained hands-on experience, cultural awareness, and memories that will stay with me forever. I am beyond grateful to IVHQ for creating such a meaningful and well-run program. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to grow, serve, and make a real difference.
