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.

Mother and daughter duo Mindy and Kira have been long-time supporters and participants in the Safe Passage community. Kira is currently volunteering on the English team, and her mother Mindy has been the leader of multiple Support Teams over the years, including another one planned for July of 2019.

Additionally, they are the hosts of our annual Quinceañera, which is a wonderful way to support the young adults in our program.

Mindy recently visited Kira in Guatemala and they shared the following:

“When Kira was four she told me, “Mom we have to do something,” words that echoed Hanley’s, “We have work to do.”

Fifteen years and eight support teams later, we’re so grateful to have been a tiny part of this organization’s growth. It’s even more gratifying that Kira has been able to work with such an amazing group of affiliates and volunteers and continue the work.

We’re so glad volunteering with this amazing organization has been a family affair for us.”

And we’re so glad to have such great friends as Mindy and Kira!
