About IFRE's Guatemala Volunteer Program (in general)
How long has IFRE been working in Guatemala? With whom do you partner? Where are you located? What are IFRE's programs?
IFRE has been running volunteer projects for a number of years all over Latin America. We partner with many orphanages, schools, NGOs, governmental organizations, non-profits and communities. IFRE's volunteer projects in Guatemala are located in Quetzaltenango and La Antigua. With people as diverse as its history and landscaped, Guatemala is a paradise for anyone – be it an archeologist, architect or world-traveler. There are ever-developing and sprawling cities which echo remnants of its multi-faceted past. Guatemala's lands offer opportunities for those wanting to not only travel to another country, but another time as well.
Currently, IFRE offers the following projects in Guatemala: orphanage, street children project, English-Teaching Project, Healthcare Project and a Social Work Project. IFRE offers free Spanish lessons to participants volunteering in projects based in Quetzaltenango. For some projects, a certain level of Spanish fluency is preferred to prevent volunteers from becoming frustrated due to the occasionally-occurring language barriers.
The mission of IFRE Volunteers is to offer the most affordable as well as the highest quality volunteer and humanitarian abroad experiences - enabling us to make a contribution for all of humanity in its quest to make the world a better place. Through our volunteer and humanitarian trips abroad, we aim to spread love and compassion worldwide while improving the lives of destitute children and less-fortunate communities. We at IFRE also seek sustainable solutions in the fields of education, healthcare, conservation efforts and development issues through international volunteering.
