We are looking for volunteers to join us at our Regenerative Center & Cacao Production space! The center is built around sustainable permaculture techniques and natural building, with a focus on ceremonial cacao and soon to be expanding into other local products like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, copal, and more.

Programa detallado

Our primary work is in cacao production with a local Q’eqchi collective of 65 families -- we source cacao directly from the local farmers living in the surrounding mountains, then work with groups of women to ferment, dry, toast, and peel cacao to bring ceremonial cacao into the world! We are passionate about creating models of regeneration that start with the Earth and continue through the thriving of communities and original cultures.

The center is going through a transition to a new owner, so we are looking for volunteers to come and help us refresh and rejuvenate the space as we move into this exciting new chapter of possibilities!

We will be hosting volunteers starting in May to unite great people to help us with renovating, organizing, cleaning, painting, planting, and building! We'll also need some help in the kitchen preparing meals for the community and organizing some fun group bonding activities. Everyone who comes will also get to experience the full cacao production process and connect with the local community. There are also opportunities to extend these dates throughout the summer.

We are looking for:
--Builders, carpenters, painters
--People who are amazing at cleaning, organizing, and find joy in putting love into refreshing spaces!
--Kitchen fairies / cooks who want to lovingly prepare family meals
--Permaculture people, gardeners, green thumbs, tree tenders, herbalists -- hard workers who love the earth and want to tend to abundance
--Technicians and handy people who are good at fixing things especially broken household appliances -- we will give priority to people with special skills!


Actividades & Turnos

Various projects will need tending to, from building tables, fixing doors, building shelves, sanding, varnishing and painting, building fences, and lots of other handy work to spruce up the place! Must be able to work with wood, bamboo, clay, cement, and other building materials.

5 hours of work per day, Mondays through Fridays, roughly 8-4pm with breaks in between. May need to work by yourself but you'll also have access to other volunteers and local staff to work as a team if need be.


Reglas

We are an alcohol-free space. Please do not bring substances here as we are a regenerative center focused on health and well being!

People who volunteer with us must be responsible, respectful, and interested in being of service. This is a social-good / impact project that is centered around generosity and maintaining well-being for all, so we look for people who are aligned with our values.
