PARTNERSHIPS

INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS

Based on years of experience working internationally, Starfish is convinced of the need for partnerships with other programs to avoid the proverbial "reinvention of the wheel." Through collaborating with other organizations, Starfish is able to provide higher quality services and programming that truly unlock the potential of Guatemala’s future leaders.
