Rotaract clubs across the United States and Canada are looking for more than conferences and fundraisers. They want action. They want connection. And they want their service to have lasting meaning.
Rotaract service trips to Guatemala provide exactly that. With strong nonprofit partnerships, a rich cultural backdrop, and affordable access from North America, Guatemala is the ideal destination for Rotaract groups seeking ethical, hands-on service travel.
Guatemala offers Rotaract clubs a rare combination of accessibility, cultural immersion, and real impact. The communities we partner with are actively building reforestation systems, advancing youth leadership, and launching regenerative agriculture programs.
These are not short-term volunteer gigs. They are part of long-standing, locally led movements — and you are invited to contribute with humility and purpose.
At somos.travel/rotaract, we specialize in trips that connect Rotaractors with this work, with bilingual support and full safety infrastructure.
Start with Local Impact
Our trips are built around vetted local nonprofits like Wellkind Guatemala. Rotaract travelers help support ongoing reforestation, watershed conservation, and environmental education in direct partnership with Guatemalan leaders.
We understand the responsibility that comes with leading youth or student travelers abroad. All of our trips include:
Our service trips are led by a fellow Rotarian — the current Treasurer of the Lake Atitlán Rotary Club — and built through the lens of the Four-Way Test. These experiences help Rotaractors grow as global citizens while supporting Rotary’s core Areas of Focus.
We offer both custom and ready-to-launch programs. Here’s an example of a 9-day trip built for Rotaract clubs:
This program integrates both service and cultural exploration, with full bilingual support throughout.
Many clubs fundraise for months in advance, and some combine efforts with local Rotary sponsors or partner clubs. We provide tools to help you:
