Volunteer Opportunities
WINGS has benefited from the generous assistance of many talented and committed volunteers. You can volunteer whether you live in Guatemala or abroad.
Volunteer opportunities in Antigua, Guatemala:
WINGS occasionally needs interns or volunteers to assist with administration and fundraising at our main office in Antigua. We prefer to host volunteers who can make a commitment of at least one month, and who are available for 12 hours per week or more.
WINGS also offers several full-time, semester or summer-long internships per year for Master of Public Health students. Interns assist with special research projects and/or program evaluation.
Unfortunately, WINGS cannot offer any compensation to volunteers or interns. We do, however, provide the opportunity to work alongside our committed, energetic staff, and to learn about our programs. We will also provide letters of reference to interns who contribute more than one month of service.
Due to the structure of our programs, WINGS very rarely offers any volunteer opportunities in the field for foreign medical personnel or public health professionals. We are strongly committed to ensuring that all direct services are provided by Guatemalan staff in order to maximize program effectiveness and community buy-in.
If you would like to apply for an internship or volunteer position with WINGS, please send a letter outlining your interest and availability as well as a copy of your resume to info@wingsguate.org.
