Like many volunteer programs in Guatemala, volunteers pay a nominal fee which is used to help with station maintenance. The cost is roughly USD$12 per day for short-term volunteers and decreases to roughly USD$10 per day for long-term volunteer stays. In return, volunteers receive a bed in one of our dormitory-style rooms complete with sheets, towels and mosquito nets, use of our well-equipped kitchen which includes a gas stove and refrigerator (volunteers supply their own food), drinking water, and of course round-trip transportation to and from the station from Flores. A two-week minimum commitment is required of volunteers.
