The Casa depends on the service of volunteers
to carry out its programs and build a community of service and friendship.
Volunteers work between three months and one year, depending upon
availability, and receive simple lodging and access to the services and
facilities of the Casa (wireless internet, laundry machine, kitchen, etc), as
well as a rewarding experience of service and community in Mexico. All
staff and volunteers should share a commitment to basic Quaker values (peace,
justice, community, integrity, and simplicity) and a desire to work with
others in a diverse community. The Casa is a multicultural environment
and bilingual organization. The ability to communicate in Spanish is
required. Candidates from Mexico and Latin America are particularly
encouraged to apply.
