Placements will be individually tailored according to interests and existing experience in order to enable wide-ranging skill development and community engagement. Working as part of the team in Campeche, volunteers will be getting involved with any and all local projects, including (but not limited to!) the following:
- Mercado Verde - a weekly 'green market' brought about by a community of local artisans and organic producers, aiming to promote fair-trade goods and reduce food miles.
- Empresa Verde (Green Business) - a co-operative assessment and support framework for local businesses moving towards sustainable, environmentally conscious practices
- El Campanario - a vanguard socio-environmental project encompassing a food forest, compost and recycling resource, animal shelter and educational workshop on a plot of land on the outskirts of the city.
- Developing sustainable infrastructure for progressive tourism in remote communities across the state
These placements are great for anybody who's looking to improve their Spanish (no initial requirement except a willingness to learn), who are looking to gain experience working on diverse environmental and community projects, and who are interested in learning about permaculture processes and systems.

Mission Statement
Ninth Wave Global is an independent, international organisation and think tank working in unknown or forgotten territories over the horizon generating space for investigation and positive change in environmental, community and social settings. By encouraging quiet, humble and slow exploration of places and people, we are able to open up space to recognise shared humanity, needs and aspirations, culminating in programmes of local-led, grass-roots development fundamentally based on local horizons, not imported value systems or solutions. Through these actions, we aim to support and re-establish local custodianship of space, cognisant of the fact that fair, sustainable communities are created by enabled, empowered individuals.
