Belize Volunteer Opportunity with Sustainable Harvest International

Looking to get your hands dirty, meet local families and make a difference on your vacation?
Sustainable Harvest International is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing farming families in Central America with the training and tools to overcome poverty while restoring our planet’s tropical forests. They oversee programs in Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, and right here in the Toledo District of Belize.

You are invited to join SHI for a day-long service project, which may include building a fuel-efficient wood burning stove, reforesting land, or planting an organic school garden. Working side-by-side with SHI families and staff, you will have the opportunity to learn first-hand about the cultures and communities you are assisting. You will also gain a deeper understanding of SHI’s environmental and social efforts within Belize and across Central America. Your day of volunteering includes a traditional Belizean lunch prepared and served by an SHI family in their home.

Volunteer opportunities are available regularly on Wednesdays, but please contact sarah@sustainableharvest.org at least one week before your visit to Cotton Tree Lodge to make arrangements. SHI requests a tax deductable donation of $20 per volunteer or $50 per trip to defer the costs of staff time and materials.($50 for one volunteer, $25 each for two, or $20 each for three or more).
