The Project in Mendihuaca
Support the local girls of the Mendihuaca community! This project is dedicated to empowering young girls through a commitment to surfing and education. Its main goal is to help these girls reach university and break the cycle of poverty by creating new opportunities for their future.
Different volunteer positions
At this project they need volunteers for different roles in the project, meaning based on your background and interest we can together find what role would be the best fit for you. The roles needed are "the Nanny", digital/social media helper, English teacher and surf teacher.
If you're interested in getting more information about the different roles and their responsibilities we are more than happy to elaborate on this, just contact us with your questions.
Where the jungle meets the ocean
You will be not only living in a local community at the project, but you will actually be located closely to a lot of the best nature Colombia has to offer. This project is perfect to combine with a trip where you also want to discover the amazing nature Colombia has to offer, such as Tayrona Park, the Lost City, Palomino and much more!
Surf as a tool and motivation
This is the ideal place to learn to surf in the Colombian Caribbean, where your days will be filled with sunshine, beaches, waves, and surf. Here, you will have the opportunity to improve your surfing skills, support the local community, and even help motivate the girls of the community through surfing.
