Ladies • Guatemala

Keep your make-up natural looking.

No excessive body piercings. A couple of tasteful earrings or one small nose stud piercing is acceptable. Other piercings must be removed or covered during the trip.

Any visible tattoos must not be offensive (not only by American standards, but also by the standards of the country where you are working).

Jewelry is fine, but please avoid items that would draw unwelcome attention (i.e. expensive jewelry, excessive bling).

Same general guidelines as previously stated. Be prepared for projects like painting in which your clothes could get dirty.

Bring a modest swimsuit (no bare midriff or plunging neckline). Swim shorts must be worn with your suit.

Avoid clothing with statements, graphics, or advertisements that could be considered offensive, keeping in mind that things don’t always translate well.

Tennis shoes, slip-ons, sandals, and flip-flops are all fine.

Pants and capris can be worn for many activities, but you will need skirts for some of the teaching opportunities. Capris and skirts should come to the bottom of the knee. No leggings, yoga [...]

Tops must have a modest neckline. They should not be thin, tight, or clingy. No sleeveless tops. Do not wear styles that expose your midriff or lower back. T-shirts are fine.
