I am so grateful that I heard about Highland Support Project my freshman year in college; my college experience would not have been the same without it! I went on two volunteer trips to Guatemala with this organization. What I love most about Highland Support Project is the fact that everyone is able to help out in some way and that the organization is so open to members from all sorts of disciplines. There work that this organization does really focuses on humanitarian need and building strong relationships with countries like Guatemala that allow us to really give them the help they need. I love the personalization that Highland Support Project endorses because volunteers know exactly who they are helping and they actually get the chance to interact with the population that they are working with.
Our experience working with Highland Support Project over the years has been such an incredible and enriching partnership. As a team leader, they make my job easy by planning everything and thinking of everything ahead of time! They are accommodating, supportive, and very skilled at hosting volunteers and travelers.
The actual experience on the trip- learning about and from the local people and culture, history and current programs and getting to work alongside people transforming their own communities is an incredible experience. I cannot say enough about the impact on our community and how we are prompted to see the world and act in it differently. This is why we keep going back.

I partnered with HSP and AMA to create the best cultural, learning, and trip experience for my youth team in our history. The way that our participants were prepared, guided, and led to build relationships while learning from and working next to local folks was beautiful. Our entire church community has been impacted and moved from the stories that our youth have shared upon their return.

The Highland Support Project is one of the most amazing organizations I have ever had the pleasure of working with! I worked with them in Guatemala in January of 2013 and again in Arizona that every August alongside Nursing Students Without Borders at VCU and was so inspired that I decided to go back a second time in 2014. They are truly an incredible institution dedicated to serving others and creating a safe and comfortable environment for all those interested in helping out their cause. I definitely plan on returning back to work with HSP in the forseeable future and cannot thank them enough for not only opening my eyes, but opening my heart to the wonderfuly generous and couragous work that they do.
