Volunteer with Oaxaca en Utah at cultural events, programs, and community celebrations.
Come as you are
Bring your hands, your ideas, or your experience
You do not need to be Oaxacan, speak Spanish, or have event experience to contribute.
Tell us what you enjoy, what you are comfortable doing, and when you are available. Some roles are active and outdoors; others are seated, behind the scenes, creative, administrative, or remote.
Role details, time commitments, physical expectations, age requirements, and any training are shared before you accept an assignment. Ask us about accessibility or accommodations so we can look for a good fit.
