El Nahual is almost entirely staffed by volunteers from Guatemala and abroad. Without the energy, enthusiasm and commitment of our volunteers, our organization could not survive. The work of our volunteers is directly responsible for El Nahual´s continued growth and impact on the communities we serve, and we value the contributions of our staff and volunteers in an atmosphere which fosters creativity, innovation and mutual respect. We are pleased to accept applications for our volunteer-only program for those individuals who want to get involved with El Nahual but do not wish to take Spanish lessons.
As a full-time volunteer at El Nahual, you will form the foundation of the diverse projects on which we work. Volunteers in the past have designed and developed a curriculum for Manos de Colores, coordinated large events for the community to honor the civic and humanitarian achievements of local schoolchildren, and led workshops on ecology and the environment. We are happy to accept applications for our Volunteer-only program on a year-round basis, and are unique among many NGOs in Guatemala because we do not charge a fee for volunteering.
If you are interested in solely volunteering with El Nahual on a short- or long-term basis during your time in Quetzaltenango, please contact the Programs & Development Coordinator at manosdecolores@gmail.com for more information.
