In-country volunteers are critically important to the vision and mission of Shoulder to Shoulder. With a generous and humble heart, they build new relationships of integrity and empowerment. This is at the very heart of our commitment to the people of the Frontera, Intibucá. New volunteers help all of us in the ongoing renewal of that commitment.
