Program Details

Collaborate with our team to design unique murals for various spaces within the property. Bring your creative vision to life by painting the murals using your artistic style.

We are not a party hostel — it’s a chill, social place where guests and volunteers can connect, share stories, and relax. You’re welcome to go out and explore Cancún’s nightlife, but inside the hostel we keep a calm, friendly vibe.

You’ll join a welcoming international crew and stay in a shared volunteer dorm just a 3-minute walk from the hostel. We provide free accommodation, breakfast, access to our kitchen and common areas, and an inspiring environment to learn, grow, and enjoy the Caribbean lifestyle.
