Volunteer in Mexico with Projects Abroad and take part in work that serves the needs of the local community. Become part of our ongoing efforts to support communities while experiencing life in a beautiful country.
We have several different kinds of volunteer work in Mexico. You can support early childhood development at a disadvantaged care centre, or protect endangered turtles on black sand beaches.
You can also kickstart your medical career by learning directly from staff at a local hospital.
You’ll be based in Guadalajara, Cuyutlan, or Baja California, depending on what project you choose. Our full-time staff in Mexico are there to support you 24/7 if you need it, wherever you’re based.
Modern-day Mexico offers a tantalising blend of Mesoamerican cultures, Spanish traditions, and contemporary arts. You’ll be able to explore shimmering coastlines and cactus-strewn deserts.

Where we are based in Mexico
Our volunteer opportunities in Mexico take place in Guadalajara. Our Conservation Project is based in Cuyutlan.
Guadalajara
Guadalajara has winding cobblestone streets, gorgeous colonial architecture, and a serene urban area. While many of the images characterised as ‘Mexican’ have their roots here (like mariachi music), the modernisation of the city allows you to experience old and new, all within one city.
Cuyutlan
With its black-sand beaches, gentle waves, and laid-back attitude, Cuyutlan feels a world away from everywhere. This quiet beach town serves as the home of our Sea Turtle Conservation Project.
We are also based in the beautiful coastal city of La Paz, Baja California. A sanctuary for the planet's most incredible sea life, Marine & Shark Conservation volunteers will stay in this idyllic location between the ocean and the desert.
