El Salvador is a Central American country, bordering the North Pacific Ocean with Guatemala and Honduras being its close-by neighbors. Being one of the most populated countries within the American mainland with approximately 6.9 million people, El Salvador is currently undergoing increased population growth and rapid industrialization. With the largest capital (San Salvador) in Central America with a population of approximately 2.2 million inhabitants, El Salvador has been attracting more and more foreigners due to its virgin beaches, amazing nature-themed attractions and beautiful landscapes.

Many volunteers choose El Salvador due to its ease of access, with numerous, short flights arriving into the Comapala International Airport – located just 30 minutes southeast from the capital city. With projects available in various cities throughout El Salvador – San Salvador , Santa Ana , Sonsonote and other state departments – Global Crossroad's volunteer program in El Salvador provides the perfect opportunity to explore this small, but amazing country while contributing to its people and children.
