Volunteer in Cardonal, Hidalgo!

No previous experience or special skills are required. A typical forest conservation and community resilience volunteer/intern needs to be enthusiastic, willing to learn, ready for a challenge and has to have a desire to take initiative; friendliness, care, commitment and patience are among important qualities. Motivation and desire to learn about the community development field as well as passion for community work and grassroots development. We seek that the volunteer experience supports both a comprehensive experience for the person who participates and for all the members and beneficiaries of our community. We expect that volunteers adapt to program needs with flexibility, responsibility, commitment, patience and perseverance, among other significant qualities. It is necessary for volunteers to meet certain requirements:

• • At least 18 years of age at the start point of the volunteering period
  • At least intermediate Spanish competence (B1 completed)
  • Respect for the other and openness to discover new ways of life and cultural practices
  • Preference will be given to those candidates who have work experience with people in vulnerable situations
  • A valid medical insurance throughout your stay is mandatory
  • Candidates will be interviewed through video call by the NGO staff.
  • An ideal volunteer is proactive, result-focused but still patient and willing to engage in activities autonomously while still having our support and supervision.

  • Time Commitment: A minimum time commitment of 2 weeks is required and can be extended up to one year. Activities are usually held during weekdays from 10 am to 6 pm, but a personalized schedule will be organized with each volunteer on a weekly basis. (At least 4 hours per day.)

    Availability: This program is ongoing throughout the whole year
