In partnership with the Coffee Quality Institute and Kansas State University, supported by the U.S. Department of State, WCR is working to train seed producers and upgrade seed lots so farmers can access high-performing, genetically verified plants from the very start. By strengthening nurseries and improving traceability, this partnership helps ensure that the seedlings leaving Guatemalan seed gardens are healthy, true-to-type, and ready to meet the demands of specialty markets worldwide.

When better plants reach more farms, quality and resilience rise together, supporting the 125,000 families who depend on coffee and boosting the value of every export shipment that carries Guatemalan coffee to global buyers.

We are grateful to everyone who expressed interest and submitted an application. We are excited to have already begun welcoming volunteers and we look forward to sharing additional opportunities soon.
