¡Bienvenidos! Thank you for considering Hi-Mission!
We’re a Christian non-profit (USA-registered since 2006) empowering Indigenous Mexican families from Oaxaca through education, vocational training, and housing. Our 4-hectare property in Santa María, San Quintín, hosts 9–10 families (35–45 people) and includes daycare, workshops, and community programs.
Our Story
* Founded in 2001 by our director (originally from South Korea, in Mexico ever since) as a missionary project.
* First generation kids (2001–2012) now thriving adults: pastors, nurses, teachers, business owners, farmers.
* Now supporting the next generation (2015–2027) with dedicated volunteers worldwide.
What We Need
All skills welcome! Especially:
* English teachers for daycare kids (Ages: Toddlers to Elementary)
* Helpers in welding, carpentry, farming, sewing, gardening, hair cutting, bread making
* Artists/musicians
* Mechanics for vintage cars (50s–70s) and/or sail boats
Current Project(s):
* Local Sailing Program - We're developing a local youth sailing program and are looking for skilled sailors who know how to sail and maintain sailboats as well as gas powered boats!
Boats & Specs - 34ft Yorktown Sailboat (1984); 43ft Wesfall Sailboat (1985); 24ft Sylvan Gas Powered Boat (1987)
*We also are looking for any volunteers with shipwright skills as we have many boats that needs restoring/refurbishing/repair!
**For those coming to assist with the youth sailing program, boat accommodations are also available! Speak with Kevin for details.
Share your talents—we’ll use them!

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Volunteers will have the chance to immerse themselves in our local culture, learn practical skills, and enjoy meaningful exchanges with the community. We value curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to learn by doing. While we’re always happy to answer questions and provide guidance, we encourage volunteers to be proactive and independent in their experience.
This is a great opportunity for those who enjoy working alongside others, sharing ideas, and discovering new ways of living. You’ll gain hands-on knowledge, cultural insights, and lasting connections — all while contributing in a way that respects both your abilities and our shared goals.
Projekte mit Kindern
Dieses Projekt schließt möglicherweise den Umgang mit Kindern ein. Mehr Informationen findest du in unseren Verhaltensregeln und Tipps hier.
Arbeit
We support Indigenous children from Oaxaca by helping them attend school and providing direct teaching at our Christian mission center.
Volunteers assist daily (a few hours) with:
- Homework help (especially English or Math)
- Music lessons (drums, guitar, piano, synthesizer, trumpet—the kids will adore you!)
- Arts, crafts, or swimming
We also train young adults in practical vocational skills for future independence:
For young men
- Welding, mechanics, auto body work, carpentry
- Restoring classic American cars (in our on-site workshop) to prepare them for opening their own shops back home
For women
- Hair cutting, bakery/bread making, sewing, general cooking
Current Project(s):
* Local Sailing Program - We're developing a local youth sailing program and are looking for skilled sailors who know how to sail and maintain sailboats as well as gas powered boats!

All skills and enthusiasm are welcome—your contribution truly changes lives!

Lodging

Kitchen & Dining
We share a spacious kitchen and dining area.
- Breakfast: Self-prepared (we provide basics: rice, beans, pasta, soup, coffee, drinking water).
- Lunch: Often cooked and eaten together.
- Dinner: Usually prepared as a group—Korean, Mexican, or American dishes.
We live simply in a rural village, so food and resources are valued—please minimize waste. Vegetarians may need to purchase some extras and cook independently.
Amenities
- Free 24/7 WiFi
- Laundry machine available
- Beach cruiser bikes for use (please clean after riding)
Important Rules
No pets, smoking, alcohol, or drugs—thank you for respecting our family-oriented community!
Was noch ...
Our place is located just 500 meters from a quiet, 5‑mile stretch of fine sandy beach—only about a 15‑minute walk. During your free time, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and explore the surrounding nature.
You can try:
- Beach fishing or boat fishing
- Basic surfing
- Sunbathing on the peaceful beach
- Beach camping under the stars
- Visiting a remote sea‑lion cave
If you love seafood, you’ll enjoy having access to fresh fish, clams, and oysters—but you’ll have to catch them yourself! There’s also an oyster farm about 40 minutes away for those who want to experience fresh local shellfish.
