Program Details
What do we offer to our volunteers?
At YUG we want you to feel welcome and be able to enjoy an exchange, learning, and community living experience.
We offer accommodation in a room designated for volunteers and daily breakfast in our restaurant.
You will also have access to a shared and equipped kitchen, where you can prepare your own meals during the rest of the day.
In your spare moments you can enjoy our trails, the beaches along the San Antonio River, the viewpoints and the tranquility of the Córdoba mountains.
Our space is alcohol-free and we promote a community living based on respect, collaboration, care for nature and the wellbeing of all people.
We want your experience at YUG to be much more than a task-for-accommodation exchange: an opportunity to share, learn and feel part of a growing project.
