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.
Safe Passage board members traveled from near and far to attend an in-person annual meeting on October 10-11. This time on-site allowed them to gain greater insight into the successes, opportunities, and challenges that are top priorities as we look ahead to the next 25 years of Safe Passage. We are proud to have a strong board of 17 members, including 7 Guatemalans, and representation from 6 countries.
Following campus visits and time together, the board members left feeling proud and excited about what is possible for our future.
We extend our gratitude to Board Chair Jessica Britt and Program Committee Chair Kolia O’Conner, who will complete their terms at the end of this year. Jess, a dedicated volunteer of 15 years and board member for 6, has left a legacy of thoughtful and strategic leadership. Kolia, an esteemed educator and international school leader, contributed immensely to strategic planning, educational evaluation, and governance over the past 6 years.
