My Nonprofit Reviews

I spent about 6 weeks volunteering with Maya Traditions Foundation in early 2015 as a photographer and videographer. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience, and will forever have fond memories of my time working with MTF in Panajachel.

If you are a self motivated volunteer wanting to work with an organization where your time will be valued and you will feel useful, look no further than Maya Traditions Foundation. This is an excellent social enterprise that truly puts PEOPLE first -- both their staff and the artisans they partner with. I truly felt that my experience was mutually beneficial.

Each day was a rich and interesting experience. The office is beautiful and located in Panajachel, but my favorite days were spent on site visits to the artisan cooperatives. It was during these site visits that I saw a side of Guatemala that I wouldn't have seen had I just been traveling through.
