Global Shore Opportunities

Our History

Founded in 2004, Global Shore Opportunities works in Pastores, Guatemala, operating a K-12 Christian school. With our international office in Norfolk County, ON, we provide opportunities for sponsoring student education, short-term trips and long-term partnerships.

Our Mission

We have a strong vision of raising up disciples of Christ, in Spirit and in truth, and are primarily carrying this vision out with school children in Guatemala through the means of Christian education. We believe that education is crucial to breaking poverty cycles.

Our Values

We value education. We value partnering with the local church. We value working in partnership together with Guatemalan nationals. We value creating meaningful service opportunities for visiting North Americans.

Global Shore Opportunities - What We Do

Primarily, we operate a Christian school for over 325 children that is staffed almost entirely by Guatemalan nationals. Guatemala is an impoverished nation desperately in need of quality education with a Christ centred focus. Our goal is for our students to come to know Christ and to receive an education that will help to break cycles of poverty in their lives. A secondary justice initiative that we have is building homes for families in need. We receive visiting North-American short-term teams year round and have a number of year-long contract positions for North Americans who wish to teach English abroad for a year.
