Volunteer Opportunities

Many people wishing to get involved with the work of Mayatan Foundation wish to have a more personal relationship with the organization and choose to come to Honduras for a period of time. We welcome this opportunity to meet our supporters and promise that it will be a rewarding experience for everyone involved.

Short-Term Visits to Copán Ruinas

If you will be visiting Copán Ruinas in the near future and would like to visit our campus we would love to see you. Many visitors to the town come up the hill to see our wonderful school and spend some time meeting our students - they love to practice their English with new people! If you will be nearby, please send an e-mail to director@mayatanfoundation.org.

Long-term Stays

A number of people have come down to Honduras to spend a week, a month, or even longer assisting Mayatan. Previous visitors have assisted us in all sorts of ways such as:

  • working as a classroom assistant to grade papers and provide extra assistance for students
  • re-catalog and re-shelve library books
  • design and build playground equipment

Speaking spanish is not necessary, though coming to Honduras would provide you with a wonderful opportunity to practice. If you would be interested in visiting us please send an e-mail to: director@mayatanfoundation.org.
