Overview

Volunteer in Guatemala and escape to the heart of Central America for the opportunity of a lifetime! Guatemala is the perfect place to learn Spanish, volunteer and travel. This is one of the few countries in Central America were ancient cultures are still intact, which is apparent by the local's colorful and traditional attire. While Spanish is the official language of Guatemala, thirty-one different ethno-linguistic Mayan groups still speak their ancestral languages. For a magical and unforgettable experience, travelers should look no further than the "Country of Eternal Spring." Guatemala boasts Mayan ruins, mystical volcanoes, colorful traditions, picturesque nature and exquisite cuisine.

Rustic Volunteer invites you to volunteer and travel in Guatemala and explore the beautiful country while working to aid deprived Guatemalans. Volunteer in Guatemala in the healthcare/medical project and improve Guatemalan quality of life. Few healthcare facilities exist in rural Guatemala and even fewer people are aware of health issues and basic healthcare solutions. As a result, poverty hinders Guatemalans in their pursuit of healthy lifestyles and adversely affects their social well-being.

This is the perfect project for those interested in a healthcare/medical career to grow professionally and personally. Volunteers have the opportunity to spread health education and directly help people. Not only can volunteers improve the lives of others, they can travel throughout Guatemala, learn about Mayan culture and leave the country with a great sense of accomplishment.

Important Information

Volunteers interested in joining the volunteer health program in Guatemala must possess some proof of healthcare certification, such as an ID as a medical student, EMT/paramedic certification, or nursing or physician's credentials. Rustic Volunteer’s partnering hospitals/healthcare clinics require a copy of your resume clearly stating credentials and education before your arrival at your assigned project.
