U.A.M. is an institution that works with the small farmers to support the community development projects in the poorest areas of Guatemala. U.A.M. requires personnel with a strong multicultural background, and engaged along the lines of community service. The volunteer could join U.A.M. in one of the following categories:

First, as a support person for any of our programs. It is important to match the volunteer abilities and skills, with the requirements of U.A.M.

Second, we work with 2 types of volunteer placements: those who work in the communities (not in Quetzaltenango), and do an specific work for a certain period of time; and volunteers who work in Quetzaltenango's office giving support and working as a consultant for our programs.
