    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.
