Program Details

WE KINDLY ASK THAT YOU ONLY APPLY IF YOU'RE COMMITTED TO STAYING UNTIL THE AGREED-UPON DATE.

We're excited to welcome enthusiastic, proactive, and independent volunteers! This position is perfect for someone who enjoys having lots of free time and knows how to stay motivated and productive without needing reminders or close supervision. Since our family has a busy schedule during the week, we're looking for someone who feels comfortable doing their own thing and doesn’t rely on constant company or guidance.

You'll be staying in a cozy, well-located home just 20 minutes by bus from the heart of Oaxaca City. There’s a bus stop and local shops right outside the door, making it easy to get around and grab anything you need. On your days off, you can explore the rich history and colorful culture of Oaxaca, or take a short trip to stunning beaches (2.5 hours away) or peaceful mountain ranges (just 2 hours away).

You’re welcome to use our kitchen to prepare your own meals, and we’d love for you to join us for family dinners whenever possible.

We also offer a designated workspace—perfect for digital nomads or anyone who needs a quiet spot to study or work.

If you're ready for a meaningful cultural exchange, enjoy your independence, and want to make a positive impact by helping others through language, this experience is for you. We’d love to have you join us!

Activities & Shift

Teaching: Volunteers are responsible for creating engaging activities and maintaining dynamic class environments. We are looking for fun and dynamic individuals who can design engaging lessons for our students. As part of the volunteer program, participants are expected to create new material for the students. It would be helpful if you could bring a laptop or tablet.

Housekeeping: Volunteers are also expected to help keep the common areas and the academy clean and tidy as part of their daily responsibilities.

Rules

Cleanliness: It’s essential to clean up after yourself. If you’re uncomfortable with regular housekeeping tasks, this program may not be the right fit.

No Smoking: Smoking is not permitted in or around the house.

To follow the family's rules!

Please don’t invite outside guests to the house to ensure everyone’s privacy and comfort.

If you could just show up on time and be gentle with our students, there wouldn't be anything to worry about!
