In the summer months of June
and July, AIR eagerly hosts volunteers from the US because this time is both
convenient for most North Americans AND it is the season of afternoon rains
when we need to get the tree seedlings quickly transplanted onto mountain slopes.
School programs are also active during
those months and stoves always need to be built!
We have almost 20 years of experience in hosting
exciting, exhausting, rewarding and spiritual weeks of volunteering. The size of the “group” varies from 2 people
to 12 people—larger groups are problematic because of transportation issues and
because we do not want to overwhelm communities with a crowd of new faces. However, we are happy to do back-to-back
weeks of 24 total if your church group so desires.
2016 Dates:
May 29th - June 5th
June 5th - June 12th
June 12th - June 19th
June 19th - June 26th
June 26th - July 3rd
COST: Airfare +
$700/person; $800/person if you select Lake Atitlan; and $500/person for last
shorter trip.
Payment covers hotel,
food, ground transportation and work materials—everything except your tourist
day. We will meet you at the airport in
Guatemala and handle every detail from there!
You will stay in a secure,
mountain retreat or lakeside hotel and spend days working side-by-side with
Mayan farmers and visiting schools. We
will provide orientation material, including in-person if location permits. We have twenty years of experience in
hosting mission teams—reviews at GreatNonProfits.org

If a group of volunteers prefers another time of year,
such as over Thanksgiving or in January, we would consider that option,
although it would not involve tree-planting.

AIR's work in Sustainable Agriculture with indigenous farmers may be part of academic credit in a variety of academic fields, and we have hosted small classes of forestry students, political science students and graduates in international development. The supervising professor may provide classes at the hotel, as well as learning in the field. Academic lectures and readings on Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Change Resilience are available from Dr. Hallum for a small stipend.
