A volunteer vacation (sometimes called voluntourism or service vacation) is the perfect blend of exploring a new place and making a meaningful impact while you’re there. Instead of just sightseeing, you spend part of your trip working alongside local communities—helping with hands-on projects that truly matter.
At Be Humanitarian, our volunteer vacations are rooted in connection, service, and cultural exchange. Whether it’s teaching kids, supporting local farmers, or preparing meals for families, our trips are designed to give back while giving you unforgettable experiences.
Why Should I Consider Going on a Volunteer Vacation?
Traveling is great—but traveling with purpose? That’s a whole new level.
Here’s why people love volunteer vacations:
- You make a real difference. Your time and energy go toward projects that support children and families in need.
- You experience culture more deeply. You’re not just a tourist—you’re part of the community.
- You build lifelong friendships. Many volunteers say their trip changed their life and gave them a second family.
- You grow personally. Serving others opens your heart and broadens your worldview in ways no guidebook ever could.
How Does Voluntourism Work?
Voluntourism blends traditional travel with service opportunities. With Be Humanitarian, we take care of the details—from safe lodging and local transportation to daily meals and organized activities.
You’ll spend part of your time volunteering (like helping with preschool activities, a construction project, serving meals, or distributing food baskets), and the rest exploring the vibrant culture of Guatemala—visiting local markets, relaxing in scenic spots, or joining in local festivals.
Our Roots in Guatemala
Be Humanitarian’s story began in Guatemala. We’ve worked for years with local leaders and families to support sustainable change. Our programs focus on education, nutrition, and economic opportunities.
- We provide hot meals and educational support for children.
- We partner with local women to create and sell fair trade crafts.
- We help families gain access to basic resources through community outreach.
When you join a trip, you’re not just visiting—you’re becoming part of that story.
