- Opportunity to innovate through new initiatives based on what you see and hear in the field as well as nurture new projects to benefit indigenous women and their communities.

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).

​​The heart of the Dare to Dream program is to walk alongside youth as they navigate through life's challenges. The youth in our Dare to Dream program need the wisdom, advice, encouragement, and community that mentors can provide. Mentors meet practical and emotional needs as well as provide guidance through developmental milestones. The goal is for youth to be engaged and to feel supported and equipped to navigate life. A mentor commits to meeting with the youth every other week to set goals and help them achieve their dreams. These relationships will hopefully last a lifetime, but the program is a year commitment. Mentors matched with a high school student are strongly encouraged to stay with the youth until high school graduation.

We tell mentors that the simple act of telling their youth “I believe in you,” “You are special,” and “You are going to do great things” can change their path completely.
