Mission:

Through quality education and comprehensive wellness services, Safe Passage offers a transformative experience for our students within a loving and supportive environment.   Our educational community co-creates learning experiences that support students in developing the character, knowledge, and skills to reach their maximum potential. This cultivates positive and lasting change for themselves, for their families and community, and for Guatemala.

Vision:

Our vision is to catalyze a positive, transformative, and lasting impact by educating and inspiring youth leaders to build an equitable, strong, and just society.

Members of the Board and Staff

  • Facilities

  • Development
  • Data Analysis

  2. Right-size and right-focus our organization through sensible integration of programs and services that support the core educational mission, while fostering effective partnerships to complement our programs and scale our impact
  3. Become a success and results-driven school through a commitment to the collection of high-quality data, effective education for our students, and leadership decisions that are outcome-based and adapted to our community’s changing needs.
