Travel to a new location with our trusted Global Partner, ENLACE. ENLACE's Shine Collective is a network of women supporting vulnerable women in El Salvador and Guatemala through projects that improve health, safety, and well-being. This women’s team to Guatemala offers a unique experience, focusing on learning and cultural engagement rather than hands-on service. You’ll gain insight into how poverty impacts women and how ENLACE, alongside local churches, addresses these challenges with compassion and innovation. By engaging in daily life and listening to their stories, you’ll witness the resilience of these women. Whether cooking together, walking to gather water, or participating in projects, you will return inspired to promote change and share new perspectives within your community.

Thank you for your interest in our Global Teams! We are excited to partner with you as you take this step of faith on mission with ENLACE, our trusted Global Partner in El Salvador, and now Guatemala.
Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee a spot on the team. You’ll be notified of acceptance or waitlist status within two weeks of the application deadline. A 10% deposit is required upon acceptance, and you will need to complete a travel profile and tasks in Managed Missions to prepare for travel. You may fund the balance through donations or personal funds. Due to potential airfare fluctuations, final trip costs may vary slightly. Once tickets are purchased, you are responsible for the cost, even if you cancel.
Health: Although this team will prioritize relationship-building over manual labor, applicants must be in good health and comfortable walking over uneven terrain to navigate the remote communities served by ENLACE.
Passports: Guatemala regulations require a valid passport at the time of entry. We recommend your passport be valid for at least 30 days beyond the trip's dates. Apply or renew now.
