La Fantástica is our converted teal school bus serving as a mobile jungle library across rural Petén. We visit remote villages 2–3 times per week, bringing books and literacy activities to children. We require proven experience driving large manual transmission buses or heavy vehicles. This role involves navigating rugged roads, supporting outreach logistics, and carrying real responsibility.

This work-exchange follows a balanced rhythm of contribution and rest. Volunteers work 4 days per week and receive 3 full days off.
For the Mobile Library Driver role, workdays align with La Fantástica’s outreach schedule. We operate in two weekly cycles depending on routes and availability:
• Monday to Thursday
• Thursday to Sunday
Outreach days typically begin around 8:00 AM and run most of the day due to travel and community visits across rural Petén.
We are in the early stages of operations, so scheduling remains coordinated closely with the core team. We host 2–4 volunteers across different roles, maintaining a focused and calm working environment.
In exchange for approximately 24–26 hours per week, we provide shared accommodation and one meal per working day, plus access to kitchen facilities and basic supplies. Meals are available at a discounted rate or volunteers may cook independently.
A weekly round-trip to Flores is included, and additional trips may be available when space allows.
A $100 USD contribution at the beginning of the stay helps cover fuel, transportation, utilities and household expenses.
This program operates strictly as a structured work-exchange and does not constitute employment.
This role centers on driving La Fantástica, our manual transmission mobile library bus, during outreach visits to rural communities across Petén. Outreach days typically take most of the day and involve navigating rural and sometimes rugged roads.
The driver works alongside two core staff members and supports logistics, route coordination, basic vehicle checks, and keeping the bus organized and safe. When appropriate, the volunteer may assist with setting up materials and supporting community activities.
Workload is moderate but requires focus and responsibility, especially on driving days. Flexibility is important, as schedules may adjust depending on outreach routes, weather or operational needs. Driving experience with large manual vehicles is essential for this role.
We value maturity, respect and personal responsibility.
Alcohol is permitted in moderation on days off or after working hours, and preferably within private areas of the house. Excessive use that affects work performance or the community environment is not tolerated.
Smoking is allowed only in designated areas.
Quiet hours are observed from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM to maintain a calm and respectful environment.
Internet is available in most common and administrative areas, including a co-working space and a small media room (“mini cinema”), but due to our remote location, connection may occasionally be limited.
Personal relationships between volunteers are not prohibited, provided they do not create drama, affect work performance, involve inappropriate situations (such as relationships with married individuals), or include excessive public displays of affection.
We currently do not accept couples, as we do not have accommodation capacity or guaranteed roles for two people simultaneously.
Recreational substances are not permitted in public areas. Discreet and responsible behavior is expected at all times. If substance use becomes excessive, disruptive or affects work performance, it may result in immediate termination of the work-exchange.
Flexibility and mutual respect are fundamental. If either the volunteer or the project feels the arrangement is not working, we prefer open communication and transparent adjustments.
