What a term looks like

No experience required. Just presence.

Volunteers live in shared housing provided by ABM. Mornings at the café, afternoons across the border with community partners, evenings together with whoever is in town.

01

Housing provided

Shared ABM housing within 10 minutes of the café. Meals together, rotating who cooks.

02

Training included

One week of barista and bake training before you step behind the counter. No prior café experience needed.

03

Days across the border

Two days a week spent with ABM partners on the Mexican side — kids' programs, food distribution, friendship.

04

A stipend, not a salary

Small stipend covers personal expenses. This is a gift of your time, supported by ours.
