Integrated Learning Experience

WHY INLEX?

Integrated Learning Experiences Central America was founded with the idea in mind to make a positive impact in the communities that we work in. The philosophy of the organization has roots in the founders' experience in the Peace Corps and the ultimate goal is to help communities help themselves in the long term.

We are Local

We are not run by a corporation. We are in the destinations we send people to, our in-country knowledge is key to delivering participants to projects that need it the most. We use local staff and create local employment.

Responsibility

We are not a tourism company, we are committed to supporting the communities we work in by helping local projects and local economy.

Safety

INLEX evaluates participants, projects, host families and uses only trusted providers for their programs. By using our local staff's knowledge and criteria we are able to establish a safe network of programs within each country.

Positive Impact

Projects are carefully matched the participant's skills. The projects and companies work with a volunteer or intern who will be useful to their goals and participants get a useful and rewarding experience. The best match ensures a win-win situation for each party.

Integrated Learning Experiences was established in 2005 with goal of bringing volunteers in to flexible programs in areas of need in Guatemala. Since then, INLEX has expanded to Costa Rica and Peru with seasonal programs in Argentina and Nicaragua. We work to match the best skills of volunteers with the right projects where they can make the most impact. Our projects tend to be long time partners that are committed to improving the living conditions of their local communities.

INLEX has placed over 2500 participants in various communities in Central and South America in the areas of : medicine, education, micro-finance, wildlife conservation, women empowerment, child care ,environmental conservation and more. All the projects that receive volunteers  from INLEX get access to various volunteer's profiles , and support and training material from us.
