    Sobre o programa

    Join our volunteer program and become part of a playful, and socially impactful project focused on supporting children whose parents work full-time. Our space is not a typical classroom — it's a living, breathing world of creativity, emotional connection, and joyful exploration. 

     At our non-formal learning center, we focus on:

    • 🌱 Emotional education – Helping children recognize, express, and manage their feelings.
    • 💬 Assertive communication – Encouraging respectful and empathetic dialogue.
    • 🧠 Conflict resolution – Teaching kids how to solve problems peacefully.
    • 🌍 Collective well-being – Building habits that benefit themselves, their community, and the planet.

    We do all of this through fun, engaging activities like games, cultural workshops, sports, music, storytelling, and artistic expression — all in a safe and welcoming environment full of laughter, movement, and discovery.

    •  ✨ Connect with amazing kids and like-minded people.
    • ✨ Learn practical skills in emotional intelligence and community work.
    • ✨ Be part of a transformative initiative with a long-lasting impact.
    • ✨ Gain meaningful experience for your academic and personal growth.

    Whether you're studying education, psychology, social work, arts — or simply have a heart for children and social change — this is your chance to give back, grow, and create joy.

    You’ll guide children through daily activities, model respectful interaction, and bring your own personality into the space. Whether you’re leading a drawing workshop, a team sport, a mindfulness moment, or a group story circle, you’ll be making a real difference.

    Our main goal is to keep children learning, playing, and growing happily.

    Recepção no aeroporto em Cancun International Airport

    ONE WAY TRANSPORTATION IS INCLUDED

    Pick up from the Cancun Airport to our Volunteer Home. Let us know your flight details and we make sure someone is waiting for you and brings you to the volunteer home

    *Please note: Transportation from Volunteer Home to Airport is not included. It is available with an extra charge. 

    Alojamento

    Welcome to your new home away from home! 

    The house where you'll be staying is simple, cozy, and fully equipped with everything you need to feel comfortable and at ease. 

    You’ll be sharing a room with one other volunteer. Each room has:

    • Two single beds
    • Natural light and space to store your belongings
    • Shared bathrooms in the house
    • Common spaces are friendly and relaxed — perfect for resting, chatting, or sharing meals with your fellow volunteers. You’ll find:
    • A fully functional kitchen
    • Wi-Fi connection
    • Basic cleaning supplies and essentials

    It’s a great space to relax after a fulfilling day, and a unique opportunity to live in community with like-minded changemakers from around the world.

    This house isn’t just home to our volunteers — it’s also home to two friendly resident cats! They roam freely throughout the space and love to lounge in sunny corners or quietly observe the daily rhythm of the house. They’re sweet, calm, and well-behaved — but they are cats and part of the family. For this reason, we kindly ask that volunteers are cat-friendly and comfortable sharing their space with feline roommates. Please help us care for their well-being by respecting their space, not feeding them outside mealtimes, and keeping doors/gates closed when needed.
