Join us for our much-awaited return to Guatemala!

On this trip, our partners in service will learn about Mayan culture and spend a week with families from remote areas of the Guatemalan highlands. The mission of our trip is to provide transformative experiences by bringing to light cultural, economic, political, and other power relations between settler-subjects and Indigenous communities while providing financial and academic support to Indigenous-led community programming.

Partners in service will mainly collaborate with AMA (Associacion de Mujeres del Altiplano) which is an Indigenous-run organization building agency, resilience, and civic engagement in local communities. Founded and led by Indigenous women, AMA provides behavioral health programming, health and civic education, midwifery training, support for business enterprise, and an organizational structure through which communities can attain greater agency and control over their development and wellbeing.

Hands-on work in the communities, lectures from local academics, community leaders, and activists will highlight the local Indigenous worldview and provide opportunities to explore and collaborate on ideas for transformational community development.

This trip is organized through the Deep Ecology Education Program. An organizing drive to catalyze epistemological transformation .

Cost: $1,200.00+ Airfare. All expenses included.
