Programs

Rising Minds moved operations to Lake Atitlan in 2010 after working outside of Antigua, in Jocotenango, for nearly five years. Based in San Pedro la Laguna, Rising Minds is developing programs and partnerships aimed to improve international relations and support sustainable development. Our program now has two dominate international parts. We assist in small business and sustainable international development– providing on-the-ground developmental support to local initiatives to create greater incentives for sustainable business practices and community-involvement. Through our support we help create dynamic and strategic sustainability plans to help local, community-beneficial initiatives become locally-funded as oppose to dependent on foreign aid. Then, on a more global scale, we offer 3 types of programs to foreigners: Cultural Immersion, Cultural Exchange and Volunteer opportunities. Through these programs we are actively bridging cultural, economic and developmental gaps.
