What we do

Solferino en la actualidad es un pueblo de 1800 habitantes, ubicado en la zona norte del Municipio de Lázaro Cárdenas en el estado de Quintana Roo, su historia nace como una zona azucarera de la ex hacienda “Lab Kah” (Pueblo viejo), hoy Solferino monte bravo y San Eusebio. En la antigüedad se le dió el nombre a la zona maya como Yum Balam, que en maya significa Señor Jaguar, cuenta con un clima cálido húmedo, zona de manglar, humedales, selvas bajas y medianas. Es hogar de una biodiversidad única entre flora y fauna. En Solferino se han ido localizando diferentes tipos de vegetación, como por ejemplo, las selvas medianas, que abarcan árboles de chicle, ramón, cedro y chaca, tintales, que son selvas bajas en donde abunda el palo de tinte, es el hogar de varias especies de felinos silvestres tropicales, como el jaguar, el puma, el ocelote, el margay (pequeño tigrillo) y el jaguarundi o gato de selva. Solferino es un pueblo muy antiguo, donde en el año 1670 se empezaron a crear los primeros asentamientos humanos, en la época de la colonización española de México, cuando grupos afrodescendientes empezaron a migrar para la explotación de palo de tinte, especie endémica de la zona, por su color rojizo calizo y que poco a poco sus habitantes empezaron a sembrar y cultivar alimentos como el maíz, el frijol, calabaza, también dedicaron gran parte de su tiempo a la cacería y pesca para abastecerse de alimentos. Con el “Porfiriato” (1876-1910), es cuando la tierra se entregaba en concesión a empresas agrícolas, constituyéndose de esta manera grandes latifundios como la Compañía Agrícola, que ocupaba una extensión gigantesca de terreno en el noreste de la Península.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
