The Lead Visitor Program Coordinator position is a full-time role based in the community of San Lucas Tolimán, Guatemala. Each year, the SLM welcomes 1000+ visitors to the community through the visitor program. The Lead Visitor Program Coordinator leads the team of coordinators and long-term volunteers, which support all visiting groups as they experience the community of San Lucas Tolimán.
A critical aspect of this position is bridging the cultural differences between the Mission staff and non-Guatemalan coordinators, volunteers and visitors. This role will supervise the coordinator and volunteer team, develop programming initiatives and cultivate efficient communication between Friends of San Lucas and Mission staff. The majority of work for this position will be performed in a traditional office setting and through virtual meetings, with a portion of the role supporting staff in the community and on project worksites.
