Program Details

We are looking for volunteers with a positive attitude, willingness to help, and a genuine desire to learn. We value people who are flexible and able to adapt to daily life in the countryside, as activities are very diverse and may change depending on the season and project needs.

An open mindset and an interest in rural living are essential, as well as being comfortable with hands-on work. Many of our activities involve horseback riding, so we appreciate volunteers who feel comfortable around horses (previous experience is a plus, but not always required—interest and respect for animals are key).

We also welcome volunteers with special skills, such as muralists, artists, content creators, photographers, videographers, or people with communication skills who would like to contribute creatively to the project and help share its story.
