Extended volunteers are the heart of long-term service at each of our 9 orphanage partners currently in the Baja, Mexico region.
Positions include a variety of orphanage-specific roles where volunteers become an integral part of the orphanage staff and team, including the standard “Child’s Hope Mentor”, the ideal position for caring individuals and couples to invest in and mentor individual children.
The orphanages we partner with need people to fill certain roles that help support the children. We aim to find exemplary, talented, and committed people who can help fill these needs for an extended period of time (between 6 months and 2 years).
