Project Summary
Our social enterprises create excellent employment opportunities for members of the local community – roles in the cafe, hostel and tourism office are paid and filled by local staff. Our pay far exceeds the low Nicaraguan minimum wage and our conditions are favorable. We supplement this incredible team with international volunteers who can share skills that aren’t prevalent locally, or to promote our development projects that otherwise couldn’t happen without volunteers. Read more about our values here.
We expect that international volunteers’ motivations will be to understand a little more about the ways of northern Nicaragua, use and learn skills that will serve them well in the future and work in solidarity with a community to address the effects of a global imbalance of power.
If you have multiple interests and skills, then please tell us and we can be flexible (our middle name!) about your definite position.
You can reach out to us at cafeluzyluna@gmail.com for further information (or stop by if you’re already in town!).
