Get Involved in the Sayulita Community

Regardless of whether you live in Sayulita or are simply vacationing, there are many ways for one to get involved in our community. KO Marshall, a Sayulita local, put together an impressive pamphlet of volunteer opportunities. The idea originated for her rental property guests so that they could “live it like a local” during their stay in Sayulita. “Guests would see me volunteering, going to a fundraiser event, or ask about our dogs, who are rescues from SayulitAnimals, and they would want to know how they could get involved too,” shared KO.

This project has evolved over the last few years. At first KO would relay volunteer opportunities verbally and then later put together a sheet of information, adding more ideas as they came to mind. “This year I decided to just go for it and make this a pamphlet everyone could use. Tourists can make a great contribution in Sayulita and this helps bridge the gap,” said KO.

Inside this pamphlet is an abundance of information. “This is a great resource for other property owners to place in their rental properties, and I hope they do! Tourists can read about volunteering here and maybe find something that suits them. All of the information is current and all of the contacts speak English,” stressed KO.

One will find information about volunteering for SayulitAnimals, The Mercado del Pueblo, Costa Verde International School, Eco Sayulita, Sayuparke, Campamento Tortugero, the Sayulita Catholic Church, Pro Sayulita, and MexiTreks. There is also information about volunteering for annual events, such as Festival Sayulita and a community toy drive for needy children in our pueblo. There are suggestions for financial donations, as well as a map with the organizations marked on it.

KO’s daughter, Indigo, helped to complete this project. She made recycled holders for the pamphlets to go in and also helped fold the pamphlets.

If you are in Sayulita and would like a pamphlet, you can pick one up at ChocoBanana, La Esperanza Café, Coffee on the Corner, or the Mercado del Pueblo. You can also print one out here.
