Exact Arrival Date The date you will be arriving at Cornerstone, between 10 am and 4 pm a weekday (preferably on a Tuesday). You can arrive in the country prior to this and travel first or just stay the night in Belize City if your flight comes in late. What we need to know is the date you will arrive at Cornerstone in San Ignacio. Please provide your Cornerstone arrival date here. We prefer to work within our specific Volunteer Sessions, but will consider those who wish to come at other times as well.
Exact Departure Date All the time between the Arrival date and the Departure date are days that you are committing to Cornerstone. The departure date is the morning that you will be leaving Cornerstone. This does not have to be the day you travel home. You are welcome to continue visiting the country or region as a tourist.
