Project SERES is a local not-for-profit association committed to empowering youth in Guatemala and El Salvador to lead sustainable communities. SERES seeks to simultaneously galvanize the potential of the youth bulge and create new ecologically-minded youth leaders in the department of Sacatepéquez through the SERES Youth Sustainability Leadership series. . .

Through collaboration with local Peace Corps volunteers, teachers and the director of the middle school, the beneficiaries of this project will be able to sustain practicing the learned methods in relation to life skills and the environment. Follow up educational talks will occur throughout the school year with the students and parent group to ensure the apprehension and understanding of these topics.

Computer skills are essential for inclusion in an increasingly educated work force. Guatemala is no exception; in order to escape the impoverished life of sustenance farming in rural areas, students must learn professional skills while in school, yet access to technology in remote rural areas is extremely limited.

PaperSeed built music rooms and playgrounds in Santa Lucía la Reforma, Choalímon, Paxan and Guatluc. In El Mezquital, Guatemala, PaperSeed started a music program and today the school orchestra participates in national competitions and often plays at local festivities.
