Arbeit

This natural park is a natural reserve that has two lines of volunteering, the first is focused on conservation and its activities are aimed at caring for and protecting the environment, and the second aims at education with children, an alternative school and learning community in the heart of the reserve. As a volunteer you can work in the line that you like the most, having the possibility of working in both lines if you wish. The activities carried out in volunteering are the following:

1. Accompany and assist investigations carried out in the reserve
2. Maintenance of different spots, such as the small lake “laguna”, forest nursery, organic gardens, trails and infrastructure
3. Environmental education
4. Waste and compost management
5. Support in reforestation-restoration work (planting days)
6. Accompany the local, learning community´s activities (accompany walks with the children, starting new projects, accompany learning processes, play...)
7. Language classes with the children (according to the language(s) the volunteer knows)
8. Suggest, develop and carry out new initiatives and projects
9. Other activities according to the skills and abilities of the volunteer and according to the needs of the natural park and community living there

Working with the children in the park requires a high level of commitment and empathy. We are not looking for teachers, we are looking for people who understand that children are responsible for their learning process, and who want to accompany them in their explorations and self-directed learning.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The volunteer house is located in the heart of a nature park. It has 2 shared rooms with beds available for 4 people individually and one double bed for a couple. There is also a bathroom, an equipped kitchen, a small living room, terrace and washing machine. The house is not always fully occupied. It may happen that you are the only volunteer, depending on the time of year.

Each volunteer who stays for at least two months is assigned a monthly budget to buy food according to his/her diet; the amount is enough to buy basic food in the local market. The volunteers are responsible for cooking their own meals, this is a perfect space to share recipes and carry out a culinary cultural exchange. Vegetarian food is available.

The water heater depends on the availability of gas. On some occasions, hot showers might not be available, but in general there is hot water available. The volunteers’ house has limited Wi-Fi (because there is only satellite internet in this remote area). It may only be used for basic needs, such as communication (some calls, messages, mails) and information (research, press), but not for large downloads, videos, streaming (music or movies), video calls, etc.

Lage und Freizeit

This natural park is located in the middle of a cloudy forest in the mountains, therefore it can be cold and rainy, depending on the season of the year. Given its location, the reserve is close to Bogotá (40 min approx.), there you will find many places to enjoy the Colombian culture.
In case you do not want to leave the reserve, we have some activities that you can do in your free time such as:
1. Night walks for wildlife watching (weekends)
2. Trekking inside and outside the park (e.g. visiting other village on trails)
3. Extreme sport and wellness activities: zip line, arborism, tree climbing, music therapy (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
4. Horseback riding (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
5. Bonfires
6. Birdwatching

Lage und Freizeit

LOCATION
León, Guanajuato, is a city known for its history, leather industry, and culture. It
is the largest city in the state and is famous for producing footwear and leather
goods. The city also features beautiful colonial architecture, nice local markets,
and important festivals like the León International Balloon Festival. With a mix of
modernity and tradition, León is a popular place for both tourists and locals.
LASURE TIME
Some recreational activities that can be done are:
1. Explore the Historic Center: Walk around the city center, visiting places like the
Main Square, León Cathedral, and the Museum of Art and History.
2. Zona Piel: Visit this famous leather market, ideal for buying high-quality products
such as shoes, bags, and accessories.
3. Museum of the Mummies: Located 30 minutes from León, in the state capital, it
features the exhibition of mummies that were found in the city's old cemetery.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

León, Guanajuato is home to a rich diversity of indigenous cultures, including
Purépecha, Wixárika (Huichol), Nahua, Mazahua, Triqui, Hñähñu (Otomí), Tzotzil,
Me’phaa (Tlapaneco), and Na Savi (Mixtec) communities. Despite their cultural,
social, and economic importance, many indigenous people living in urban
areas continue to face significant challenges related to economic
marginalization, social exclusion, and discrimination. As a result, their presence
and contributions often remain invisible within the city.
The challenges affecting indigenous peoples are complex and deeply
interconnected. They stem from historical marginalization and structural
neglect and are further intensified by contemporary issues such as climate
change, organized violence, and limited access to basic services. Across the
world, indigenous communities experience similar realities: systematic
violations of human rights, restricted access to education, healthcare, housing,
and limited opportunities for social participation.
This project aims to strengthen the sense of identity and belonging of
indigenous people living in the city of León, Guanajuato, through actions that
value their cultures, promote intercultural dialogue, and encourage mutual
respect. By recognizing and celebrating indigenous identities, the project seeks
to contribute to the social inclusion and overall well-being of indigenous
communities residing in the city

This camp allows volunteers to learn about global and local environmental issues through non-formal activities such as workshops, discussions, presentations and visits, as well as to contribute directly to environment protection by joining outdoor cleanup tasks.
These cleanup tasks may be arranged in partnership with the above mentioned organisations or run solely by SEEDS. We also aim to involve the local community, so some of our events may be open to the public. We hope participants will learn how to plan and carry out their own trash cleaning projects back at home. This project is based on similar activities around the world, where outstanding results have been achieved with volunteers. Volunteers can choose one of the two options below, included as hands-on volunteering activity in the camp:
A day trip combining a visit to the Hellisheiði geothermal power plant, a trash collection in the area, and the Hot River Hike, a hike up a valley filled with hot springs where one can bathe.
A day trip to the Reykjanes Peninsula, combined with a coastal cleanup in the area.
Please note that all activities are subject to weather conditions and the availability of our partners.
This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun. No previous experience is needed. Volunteers should prepare to share environmental issues from their countries and be ready to spend time outdoors, walking medium to long distances during the cleanups, and during other activities such as sightseeing. Since a part of the project happens outdoors, volunteers should be ready to adapt and be flexible with the work and free-time schedule. Depending on the weather, we may not be able to perform some of the activities as planned.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The Sierra de Los Agustinos, located in Guanajuato, Mexico, is a Protected Natural Area that hosts a rich diversity of flora and fauna and plays a key role in environmental balance and the well-being of nearby communities. However, it faces several challenges, including loss of vegetation, forest fires, pests, erosion, and the impact of unregulated human activities.

Although there are park rangers working to protect the area, the number of personnel and available resources are not enough to address the scale of these challenges. Therefore, the conservation of this natural space requires continuous efforts and the active involvement of more people committed to the environment.

This project aims to support the protection and restoration of the area through the participation of volunteers, who will collaborate in hands-on field activities alongside local rangers. At the same time, it offers an opportunity to learn, raise environmental awareness, and connect meaningfully with nature.
