The experience

We have a Brazilian sweets business out of our apartment in Santo Domingo.
We mainly need help with content creation for our social media (photography, making reels, planning our weekly posts), if we have high demand we might teach you to make the sweets, package them, some logistic processes, and help out with clean-up.

Most days are pretty chill around here. Gift-giving holidays are more intense, and we might ask for extra help.

Program Details

We are a young couple who have been living in Santo Domingo for a few years and are trying to grow our business while also finding time for fun and travel! This program won't even feel like work on most days, and you can do some part of the work while sitting at a café or park. The accommodation where you'll be staying is about 10 minutes by car or public transport to the Zona Colonial and has easy access to different parts of Santo Domingo and is very close to points of interest.

Activities & Shift

We ask for a minimum of 15 hours of your time throughout the week.
Since you'll mostly be working on Social Media and content, you can divide this time up to your best convenience. However, we will let you know in the case where we'll need extra help for other tasks.

It is important for you to be present during the production time, since this is the best time to catch us in action. We want someone creative and proactive, and who is willing to help us even with other tasks such as cleaning or running errands, especially during the Christmas season!

Rules

You will be staying in one of our rooms in our apartment. You might share this room with other volunteers. Most areas such as living room, bathroom, and kitchen are shared spaces, and we ask that you please help in maintaining these areas and your room clean.

We also appreciate a good vibe always! Stay optimistic and positive. Keep any negative attitudes far away! :)
