Volunteers interested in any of the project areas listed above are encouraged to contact us. Particular assistance in writing documentation and correspondence in English is needed for the Eco-tourism and Commercialization projects.
Working with ADIPSA is a terrific opportunity to learn about the many challenges facing agricultural communities in Guatemala and the cooperative efforts being made on various levels for positive social change. Whether your interest is in the agricultural, commercialization, or education projects of ADIPSA, you will be able to contribute your own ideas and perspective to the work. If you are interested in such an exchange and working with us, we would be happy to hear from you. When writing (en español, por favor), please include a little information about yourself and to which area of our work you think your efforts could most effectively be applied. We would be happy to answer any questions you might have as well. |
