This mentorship programme includes live participation in a variety of possible Latin American contexts – directly mentored by experienced journalists – in which the individual will be on the ground in Latin America (a number of placements available) researching and devising stories; in addition to developing; writing and submitting for publication. Candidates will emerge with high quality portfolios of published work as well as experience directly relevant to pursuing freelance work or a career in Journalism; specifically focused to the environment; or Latin America. Whilst in country; you will also assist with a range of environmental and community projects and initiatives in and around the city of Campeche; south-east Mexico. Along with several local key partner organisations; this year our projects are based around generating a truly integral and coherent vision of heritage which not only deals with historical landmarks but encompasses a progressive vision for the future of our city and community; with the essential values needed to grow an alliance between who we have been and who we hope to become. Placements will be individually tailored according to interests and existing experience in order to enable wide-ranging skill development and community engagement.

As a small non-profit; we manage to maintain our independence by not being funded by outside agencies or corporates; and as such we do ask for a contribution towards costs of placement from successful applicants; which is US$300/month mentoring costs for a remote placement and for in-situ placements this can reach a maximum of US$940/month and covers food; accommodation; equipment etc. We are emphatically non-profiteers – a problem with a lot of the sector – but we do have costs we need to cover to stay afloat; not least in these tricky times. Finally; we deliberately receive small numbers of individuals to work with us and invest a lot of time; effort and support in their placements – previous individuals who have worked with us are always available to give a sense of their experience.
