Rising Minds

Rising Minds, a US-based 501(c)3, works with local initiatives and groups to address community-identified needs and build strong relationships based on mutual respect and exchange in San Juan La Laguna, Guatemala. Our programs provide hand-ups as opposed to hand-outs to ensure accountability, not perpetuate dependency, and always implement locally-appropriate and replicable solutions. We have been working in Guatemala for 12 years, building meaningful relationships and developing programs that are prioritized as needs within the communities with which we work. Our programs surround issues related to health and nutrition, sustainable agriculture, employment and education.
