| We understand that many
people who have completed their university studies do not
need an internship experience in other countries. However,
for the purpose of solidarity or for other reasons, these
people may wish to help by sharing time and knowledge with
members of the community or other organizations in the city.
Volunteer work positions are the same as internships but without
a formal evaluation.
Casa Xelajú participates in a variety
of social projects, and uses its contacts with national and
international agencies world-wide to place volunteers in specific
fields and carry out supervised volunteer work. Through volunteer
work, volunteers gain insight into social issues and problems
facing Guatemala and help to contribute to their solutions,
while at the same time gaining valuable educational experience.
The programs that Casa Xelajú supports are in turn
enhanced by the abilities, energy, and goodwill that volunteers
bring, thus strengthening the bonds between social work, educational
institutions, and cultural organizations.
Please note:
Applications and inquiries will be processed in the order
they are received. It may take several days to receive a response.
