Come join The Appropriate Technology Collaborative for the experience of a lifetime. Our Volunteer trips focus on installing solar power at schools, nutrition centers, community centers and medical clinics. We also learn local natural building practices on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. Natural building projects include community centers, medical clinics and possibly a coffee cooperative. Recent parti
cipants report ATC volunteer work projects as “life changing” and “the best vacation we ever had”. (Note: we promise hard work but most people call it fun) While most tourists never experience Guatemala up close you will work hand-in-hand with local talent and gain insight into an indigenous Latin American culture. Many local ATC staff speak the local languages Kachiquel and K’iche’. The personal rewards from the ATC Volunteer for a Sustainable Future experience, in the highlands of Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan people are incalculable. Your perspective on life and the world around you will be changed. We start you off with an historic walking tour of Antigua Guatemala, a UNESCO World Heritage site and former capital of Latin America and end our trip with a tour of the ancient Mayan city Iximche. If you are game for hard work, daily hikes in the mountains and making new friends, an ATC Volunteer trip is for you. Some ATC volunteers have repeated the trip - there is always something
new to learn! We suggest you contact us soon at: ATC Travel Volunteer Form
