Welcome to Pulmón Verde, a nonprofit environmental and community project located directly on the Caribbean Sea, in the heart of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
Our mission is to protect, restore and improve our natural surroundings while creating a welcoming, multicultural community where people from around the world can live, learn and work together.
At Pulmón Verde, we believe that positive change begins with practical action. Our project focuses on reforestation, coastal conservation, gardening, sustainable development, environmental education and creating a greener, cleaner and more welcoming space for everyone.
We are continuously transforming our beachfront property into a place where nature, sustainability, creativity and community life come together.
Our project offers a wide variety of opportunities for volunteers with different skills, interests and backgrounds.
Some of our most important areas include:
Marketing & Social Media: Creating engaging content, photography, video production, managing social media, promoting our environmental mission and helping us reach new volunteers, supporters and potential partners.
Kitchen & Food Preparation: Preparing nutritious meals for our volunteer community, organizing the kitchen, managing food supplies and maintaining cleanliness and hygiene.
Gardening & Reforestation: Planting trees, caring for plants, improving green spaces, landscaping and maintaining our gardens.
Environmental Conservation: Beach cleanups, waste management, recycling, environmental awareness and protecting our coastal ecosystem.
Construction & Maintenance: Improving our facilities, carrying out repairs, building sustainable structures and maintaining shared spaces.
Art & Creativity: Painting, creating murals, decorating spaces, upcycling mate"},
At Pulmón Verde, we believe in maintaining a healthy balance between meaningful volunteer work, community life and personal free time.
Our volunteer schedule is 4 hours per day, 5 days per week, for a total of 20 hours per week. Every volunteer has 2 days off per week.
Volunteer activities depend on the needs of the project, individual skills and personal interests. Tasks may include gardening, reforestation, environmental conservation, beach cleanups, construction, maintenance, cooking, kitchen organization, marketing, social media, photography, video creation, art and community activities.
We especially welcome volunteers who take initiative, contribute their own ideas and enjoy working as part of a team.
Shifts are organized according to the project's daily needs. Whenever possible, we consider individual preferences and coordinate schedules so that everyone knows their responsibilities in advance.
We provide breakfast and lunch every day, including both days off.
With two full days off each week, volunteers have plenty of opportunities to explore Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya, visit cenotes, discover Mayan ruins, enjoy the Caribbean beaches, join excursions or simply relax.
We also organize community gatherings and occasional group activities to encourage cultural exchange, friendships and a strong sense of belonging.
Our goal is simple: 20 hours of meaningful contribution per week, plenty of personal freedom and a rewarding experience in a beautiful Caribbean environment.
Treat other volunteers, staff, neighbors, visitors, and animals with respect.
Take care of the accommodation, tools, equipment, and natural environment.
Follow safety instructions and ask for guidance when needed.
Use water and electricity responsibly, as resources are limited.
Keep shared areas clean and organized.
Respect quiet hours and other people’s need for rest.
No illegal activities, violence, harassment, or discriminatory behavior.
