Volunteer experience
"Volunteering during a career-break for a year in Guatemala was the best time of my life…..it was challenging during COVID19 but the team were so supportive and to see the impact of the work with at-risk kids was inspirational. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone!"
Volunteering for SKD from Amersham has been a wonderful experience. Being able to work with and support the incredible team in Guatemala from my laptop in Amersham has opened my eyes to the difference you can make from your own country! Giving your time if you can’t give financially is another way I would encourage individuals to use their skills to help those in Central America!
