OPERATION GROUNDSWELL: BACKPACKING WITH A PURPOSE Guatemala

OPERATION GROUNDSWELL: BACKPACKING WITH A PURPOSE

Operation Groundswell is looking for students who want to get out of the classroom and into the world for some hands-on learning and meaningful volunteer experience. Join us this winter in Guatemala where we will:

  • Go off the grid on a journey up into the remote village of Rio Negro, site of an infamous massacre in the early 1980s
  • Experience Mayan culture first-hand by living and working collaboratively on a community-requested project with indigenous families
  • Visit the notorious Pavon Prison to learn about the ongoing fight for justice that continues decades after Guatemala’s civil war
  • Raft on the shores of the Lanquin and Cahabon Rivers and swim in the natural turquoise and pristine waters of Semuc Champey


If you're into cultural exchange, fulfilling community service, and off-the-beaten path adventure, apply for our Guatemala Winter Break program before December 9th!
Can’t travel this winter or want to travel elsewhere? We also have a number of programs in the spring and summer all around the world! 
Check out our map of where we go.
