About our project ❤️
We manage student housing in Guadalajara, Mexico, offering accommodation to local and international students and young people who come to the city to study, explore, and experience a new culture.
But we believe that a home should be much more than just a place to sleep. We want our houses to be welcoming spaces where people from different countries and backgrounds can meet, share experiences, build friendships, and feel part of a community.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative, and proactive volunteer who would love to contribute to this vision by helping us improve our marketing, strengthen our online community, attract new residents, and take care of the green spaces that make our houses feel like home.
This is an opportunity to combine creativity, communication, entrepreneurship, and outdoor activities while experiencing life in one of Mexico's most vibrant cities!
