Program Details

Let's have a chat, see what skills you'd love to share or learn and then we can figure out a meaningful experience that works for all! No real set program as everyone and every situation is unique :)
That said, I'm particularly interested in anyone who's got experience getting people aged 18-35 hyped for wholesome meetups that aren't drinking. See @_Purely_Social_ for info.
You'd also be sharing a home with Christine, she's renting one of the rooms and is a secondary school teacher in training who's pretty quirky and lovely! The original plan was the rent out the room you'd be staying in but i decided on hosting another worldpacker! Helping around the house with good vibes, decorating the room you're staying in and helping me kickstart my non-profit would be amazing! I'll soon hopefully be backpacking the world myself, so want to leave Ripon on a high!

Activities & Shift

Besides enjoying the home, the sights, the sounds, and culture of Ripon - typical activities would be decorate the room, share your skills/experiences and hopefully get involved inside and outside the home in positive things! (Leading on a bunch of social activities to build our community would be amazing!)

Rules

Gotta be LGBTQ+ friendly and otherwise be a nice, inclusive person! Also whilst the housemate ain't vegan, I only feel comfortable paying for vegan ingredients/food which I hope you can be okay with :) also this is women/queer folks only so my housemate feels more comfortable as she'll the only other person :)
