Impact Hike 2023
Hiking to support SERES and their work in Guatemala and El Salvador
Embark on a Global Journey for Change: Hike with Purpose and Transform Lives!
We are a group of passionate hikers from around the world who love to explore trails with a meaningful purpose.
Our mission is to trek through different corners of the globe with the goal of raising $1500 USD to fuel a movement that transforms the lives of young people through the renowned work of SERES.
Your generous donation supports vulnerable youth in Guatemala and El Salvador, giving them the opportunity to change the course of a future marked by poverty, a lack of opportunities to develop problem-solving skills in their communities, and hopelessness for a better life. Thanks to your support, these young individuals can become unlikely leaders who contribute to building more equitable, resilient, and sustainable communities.
You can donate to our cause and/or lead a hike in your own neck of the woods, and we encourage you to invite your friends to give you a shoutout by making a donation as well.
