Program Details

We are in the process of developing a small hostel and still have many aspects to refine, so we are inviting volunteers who are interested in experiencing life in a quaint Nicaraguan town. Our list of projects includes waste management, cultivating a beautiful garden on the property, general chores, and assistance with social media. We prioritize the safety and comfort of our volunteers, providing them with secure accommodations, internet access, and access to a shared kitchen for meal preparation.

We aim to foster meaningful friendships with our volunteers, learning from each other while providing an opportunity for them to immerse themselves in our simple way of life. Our hostel is conveniently located just one kilometer from El Viejo city and a 30-minute drive from Pacific Ocean beaches such as Jiquilillo and Nagualapa.
