In all of our projects volunteers make the difference between a
service being provided and one remaining absent. Whether a child goes to school
or remains illiterate washing windshields at traffic lights, or whether an ill
mother receives medical care or remains bedridden without hope all depends on
the constant support of volunteers.
Volunteer support is primarily provided by the Spanish students who attend Pop Wuj - Spanish School Guatemala. Students in the Medical Program volunteer in the clinic and students in any of the programs can volunteer in the stoves, the family support center, and the environmental projects. Students who participate in the Social Work Program often volunteer with the scholarship program and/or take on leadership roles in the projects.

Long-Term Volunteers and Interns
Pop Wuj welcomes long-term volunteers and interns in our projects through a partnership with Entremundos, a Quetzaltenango-based NGO that provides capacity-building and networking services to local development organizations and works to connect social, economic, environmental and cultural projects in Quetzaltenango and the surrounding regions with skilled foreign and local volunteers.For more information about long-term volunteering and the internship program, please visit Entremundos.
