Program Details
Join us in San Cristóbal de las Casas and help us strengthen our online presence through creative video and social media content.
The main focus of this position is video production and editing for our social media channels. We want to show not only our space and community, but also the culture, celebrations, events, and everyday life that make San Cristóbal unique.
This position is ideal for someone interested in video, photography, social media, storytelling, or digital communication. We welcome your own ideas and creative style while maintaining the visual identity and quality standards of our project.
Activities & Shift
Your main activities may include:
Filming and editing short-form videos for Instagram, TikTok, Reels, and other social platforms.
Creating content about our space, guests, activities, and community.
Covering selected cultural events, celebrations, festivals, and other interesting activities around San Cristóbal.
Organizing and selecting photos and video footage.
Helping develop ideas and concepts for future content.
Preparing videos for publication, including basic editing, subtitles, audio, formatting, and other necessary adjustments.
Collaborating with our team to improve the quality and consistency of our social media presence.
Activities may vary depending on what is happening in the city and the content we need during your stay.
Rules
We want volunteers to have creative freedom, but we also expect professional and responsible work.
AI tools are allowed and can be used to support the creative process—for example, for brainstorming, organization, transcription, language assistance, research, or technical help. However, AI should remain a support and assistance tool, not a replacement for the volunteer's own creative and professional judgment.
In particular, AI-generated video briefs, scripts, concepts, or creative directions should not be used directly without proper professional review and verification. Any AI-generated material that influences the final content must be checked, adapted, and approved before production or publication.
Content should be original, respectful, and appropriate for our project. Volunteers are expected to communicate before publishing or making significant creative decisions and to respect the privacy of guests, staff, and people appearing in the content.
We encourage experimentation and new ideas, but final content should always meet our quality standards and represent our project and San Cristóbal responsibly.
