This ESC Humanitarian Aid volunteering opportunity in Guatemala offers a professional-level experience in project monitoring, evaluation, and humanitarian coordination. Based in Guatemala City with travel across the country, this role is ideal for candidates with a background in social sciences, international development, or humanitarian action.
You will work directly with a field team, contributing to real project implementation, data systems, and accountability processes. This is not a typical volunteering experience โ it requires technical skills, responsibility, and the ability to operate in a dynamic international development environment.
