À propos du programme

Marine wildlife is constantly under threat from pollution, poaching, and habitat loss. As a volunteer in the Turtle conservation project, you will be working to protect marine wildlife alongside experienced staff by diminishing the number of turtle eggs that are poached.

Help us to protect the Leatherback, Olive Ridley, and Green sea turtles who play an important role in the ocean’s ecosystem. You will be working in a turtle conversation site and working in a hatchery along the beach where collected eggs are reburied and allowed to hatch under protection. The nesting season runs from June through December, but peaks in August and September. The hatchery releases around 5,000 turtles into the sea every year. 

Volunteers working in the project in Guatemala will be mostly working in turtle preservation aimed at growing the numbers of turtles each season. Volunteers help in hatcheries, turtle release, monitoring, beach patrols, and project support.

Who is this program better for? 

Volunteers that are passionate about marine wildlife, who don’t mind getting their hands dirty, are proactive and don’t mind odd work hours.


Please note that depending on availability you may be assigned project shared accommodation(with other volunteers) in the project or host family accommodation.

Sur le projet

Integrated Learning Experiences was founded in 2005 by former Peace Corps staff that wanted to provide flexible volunteer programs with a positive impact.

Rencontrez votre hôte

Integrated Learning Experiences’ (INLEX) mission is to strengthen human resources in Central America and South America through volunteer programs, educational travel and internship opportunities.

In addition to this, INLEX provides opportunities for students and professionals to further gain experience in their field of choice by matching participants with the best opening available.

We work towards:

  • Sustainability in the projects and communities that we work in.
  • Programs that promote cultural exchange.
  • Safe and affordable programs.
  • Strengthening and empowering communities.
  • Authentic experiences for our participants.
  • Facilitating education.

INLEX was set founded by former Peace Corps staff in Guatemala in 2005 who wanted to provide flexible programs for volunteers in Central America. This flexibility allows our participants the option to commit for as long as they want in the area they are best suited to support; creating a positive impact and a rewarding experience. We do this because we believe in the principle that every volunteer can make a difference.

Many years and happy people later, we continue working with key partner projects to develop communities in the Latin American region.
