GLA Guatemala: Volunteer Abroad Programs for High School Students

See the world of the Maya through the eyes of a future generation.

Step directly into the 4,000 year old world of the Maya: a civilization rich with history, art, culture, and breathtaking mountain scenery. In Guatemala, you'll learn first-hand about how Mayan traditions have both evolved and been preserved through a combination of globalization, civil wars, and subsequent peace accords; see how grassroots community leaders are working to preserve their culture; get a glimpse of the complex relationships between Central America and the rest of the world.

Highlights:
* Volunteer at a Mayan school
* Journey across sacred Lake Atitlan
* Attend a ceremony with a Mayan shaman
* Explore ancient archeological ruins
* Shop at the largest indigenous craft makret in the hemisphere

Some may say that changing the world is a hefty goal. But at Global Leadership Adventures, we believe that you have the power and compassion to make this old world of ours a much better place! That's why we offer service-learning excursions to Africa, Asia, and Latin America for students like you who want to make a lasting impact and learn how to be global citizens capable of positive change.
