Become a volunteer
The volunteers who visit Guatemala usually go for a minimum of seven weeks. Half the cost of the return flight and all the costs of accommodation (excluding food) are paid by the charity. Volunteers can go at any time of year and two volunteers can be in Balanyá at the same time if they wish. The orchestra needs coaches for all orchestral instruments and also violin makers. Some Spanish is required.
