COLLABORATING WITH PSYDEH

We prefer the concept of "collaborator" rather than "volunteer" because PSYDEH operates like a startup, which means it needs professionals willing and able to invest what is necessary to make a beneficial impact for all, for themselves, for our organization and for local partners. Most of our staff are collaborators and donate 100% of their time.

As a past PSYDEH collaborator states:

"If you are looking for an experience that gives you the opportunity to understand and collaborate in the challenging first-hand work needed to change rurality in Mexico, I could not recommend a higher experience."

Please send us your resume, a cover letter and everything you think we should know about you to: Carmen Grab (carmen.grab@psydeh.com).
