Ambassador Trip for Educators to Guatemala, July 23-26, 2019

• About
  Our Ambassador Trip to Guatemala from July 23-26, 2019 is an opportunity for educators to experience our program model in-country. Our cohort of Ambassadors will spend two full days (4 days including travel days) in Guatemala with Squads Abroad Director Erik Werner and Country Director Juan Carlos Buenafina visiting various volunteer sites and partners to get a sense of the projects and types of volunteering your students would be doing. The group will be staying at our home-base lodging accommodations and all meals, transport, flights, and activity fees during the advertised program are included. In addition to site visits and educational workshops the group will also have a lot of fun participating in the various cultural activities and sightseeing activities available to our school groups.
