Volunteering with elders and children in CDMX

You can start your volunteering journey today by visiting huellas.social/Voluntariado and clicking "Participar como voluntario!". Registration is strictly individual and requires only a WhatsApp number or Facebook account. Our model is fully flexible: The registration window opens every Sunday and stays open until Wednesday night; once you sign up, you simply attend the volunteering session on the Saturday of that same week. You must be available on Saturdays between 14:00 and 19:00 hrs CDMX time (GMT-6). While the core activity lasts exactly two hours, each care facility operates on its own schedule within this timeframe.

No prior experience is necessary, as our experienced leaders supervise and guide every safe, structured session. The 2-hour experience is divided into three meaningful stages:

1. The Briefing: The day begins with an introductory talk to help volunteers understand their social impact, fostering collective responsibility and empathy.
2. The Connection: Guided by coordinators, volunteers visit the children's/elder's home or community center to lead pre-planned games, storytelling, or crafts designed to bond with the youth.
3. The Solidarity Project: The session concludes with a creative initiative where volunteers empower the children/elders to create something for others. This teaches them that they, too, can actively participate in society and make a positive impact on someone else's life.
