Primeros Pasos is committed to creating valuable service-learning opportunities for volunteers.  Since 2004, Primeros Pasos has hosted approximately 450 volunteers from sixteen different countries including Guatemala, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, England, Spain, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. Each year, we host about 100 foreign volunteers from at least six different countries. 

 

At any given time throughout the year there are between 5-10 volunteers of varying backgrounds working at the clinic.  Health education volunteers work at the clinic and in community schools to teach health education classes and improve school facilities. Foreign health professionals work at the clinic under the supervision of a Guatemalan physician. They are provided the opportunity to work side-by-side with Guatemalan professionals and community members and get a full emersion experience.
