Get Involved
While the most obvious way to get involved may be to come visit us in person, there are a variety of ways to contribute from wherever you live. At FOCE we believe in carefully stewarding the resources God places in our care, so we welcome individuals who want to give of their time to help support many of our organizational operations. Whether through ongoing projects or one-time initiatives, you can lend a supporting hand by helping with administrative tasks, making your expertise available, or participating in the ongoing operations as a volunteer. Additionally, you can serve as an ambassador for Casa Bernabé in your own community by spreading awareness, organizing local events, or advocating for their cause online.

Service Opportunities
There are a range of service opportunities that allow you to make a meaningful impact, many of which you can do without ever leaving home. If you're passionate about donor engagement, you can help by building relationships with supporters, sending personalized thank-you notes, or assisting with donor communications to ensure they stay informed and connected to the cause. For those with a knack for technology, contributing to website development is a fantastic way to improve the user experience and help Casa Bernabé reach a broader audience online.
Social media enthusiasts can lend their skills by creating engaging content that promotes FOCE's mission, events, and initiatives across platforms, helping raise awareness and build a strong online community. Additionally, those who are gifted at administration can assist with a variety of tasks like organizing data, managing donor databases, or providing support to different departments to ensure smooth operations.
We’d love to talk with you about your specific skill set and help match you with a service opportunity that allows you to make a difference in the lives of the children we care for at Casa Bernabé.
Become an Advocate
Our goal is simple: provide churches, groups, and businesses with creative resources and simple next steps for everyone to get involved and make a difference in the life of a child in Guatemala.
If you’d like to help, it can start with a simple conversation. Talk about our ministry, share our message, host a dinner to introduce Casa Bernabé to your community and please let us know how we can help. We would love to share some information or set up a time to visit with you, your family, your team, your church, or your business. It all begins with connection.

Bring a team
Your Casa Bernabé experience will begin before you ever leave the United States as we begin to prepare you for your visit. Through our education and orientation materials, we want you to be ready to serve when you arrive on our campus. We know international travel can be intimidating and we are seeking to ease these fears, as well as prepare you to interact with our staff and Casa Bernabé families in a safe and healthy manner. Our children have come to us out of traumatic situations, and our top priority is protecting them.
Team trips are typically a week long, and we can host teams of up to 40 people. You will stay on-site in our dormitories and all of your meals will be provided.
We will work with you to plan work projects and/or coordinate activities for our children so that we are properly prepared for your visit.
We welcome medical teams that would like to serve our children and the community in our clinic.
Serve long term
Are you being called to the mission field? We would love to chat with you about this opportunity to serve cross culturally. Through extensive field prep prior to your time at Casa Bernabé, you will be well trained and prepared for this life-changing experience.
We are currently seeking someone to fill a spot on our Missionary Care Team at Casa Bernabé! Could it be you? If you have ever felt your heart being pulled in the direction of our ministry in Guatemala now is your chance to explore that calling.
We would also love to enhance our long-term service opportunities, by inviting individuals to serve as English teachers, nurses, or doctors at Casa Bernabé. These roles are vital in providing quality education and healthcare to our children and the surrounding community. If you feel called to contribute your skills in these areas or have other skills you believe could be used by Casa Bernabé, we would love to discuss how you can make a meaningful impact.
