Join A Team
Interested in joining a WIND mission team in Guatemala?
Our short term teams serve alongside local leaders, teachers, pastors, students, and families in San Juan Cotzal.
Short term teams are a vital part of WIND’s partnership strategy and ministry growth. Over the years of WIND’s ministry in Cotzal, teams have helped to deepen our relationship with our partners in Cotzal.
Our upcoming trips include opportunities to help students and teachers at the school, provide dental care, and learn more about poverty and social justice issues in Guatemala. No matter what your team’s focus, our teams spend quality time with teachers and students, visit familes’ homes and encourage the community.
