DISCOVER GUATEMALA
When you wander the cobblestone streets of Antigua, it’s easy to see why this city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Everywhere you look, vibrant colonial buildings, ornate churches, and charming plazas tell stories of a rich history that stretches back to the 1500s — a history shaped by resilience through earthquakes and decades of rebuilding.
Antigua isn’t just beautiful — it’s also a place where you can make a real difference. Many local communities face daily challenges due to limited resources, despite the city’s bustling tourism.
Through Volunteer Abroad GT, you can support local initiatives that empower residents and improve lives, while immersing yourself in Guatemalan culture.
Our program offers placements both in Antigua and nearby areas, giving you the chance to connect with the community, learn from local projects, and leave a meaningful impact.
Located just 30 minutes from Guatemala City, Antigua is the perfect base for combining cultural exploration with hands-on volunteering.
