The Experience
Its time to repaint our window frames on 2 of our beautiful old traditional houses. They were build in the days without running water or bathrooms in the house! They don't make houses like this anymore which is why we need your help to keep them cared for! Repainting preserves this incredibly high quality wood from 1800s. This is a great job for friends or a couple or team of volunteers.

My experience at the Center was magical. I met some of the most amazing people, both fellow volunteers and locals and I learned something from everyone. The nature is amazing and there's so many things you can do and experience. I really loved working in the garden, hours are flexible so that you can enjoy your time around and everyone is always ready to help you if you need it. I truly raccomend this experience to everyone, it was an unforgettable month!

I had an incredible time at the Center and was lucky enough that the folk festival was on the first few days that I was there. Kelsey made me feel super welcome. I primarily did marketing, but I was also able to help in the garden and do some light cleaning and cooking during the Monday meetings. On the afternoons and weekends, I went swimming in the lake, walking in the forest. Additionally, I also got to try bow shooting, yoga, ceramics, women's circle, live music, among many other things. I miss the Center, the community and the fellow volunteers already and would highly recommend it ❤️

Annabelle navigated skillfully through traveling surprises. She came at the perfect time to enjoy some of the most beautiful concerts and music of the year! She easily got along with everyone and was happy to help. Wish her a wonderful time in her next adventure in Oslo.

My experience in Hedemora was really positive. I had time to connect with myself, enjoy the moment, and take in some amazing views. I met some great volunteers and locals, and I was able to connect with them and learn a lot just by spending time together. One of the best parts for me was the football matches, which happened almost twice a week. I loved playing with both kids and adults — everyone was super friendly and welcoming to me. This experience will stay with me for a long time. It really helped me reflect and set some goals for my future.

Ivan arrived to a totally new environment and was open to trying and experiencing everything. Very kind and relaxed he got along with everyone. Ivan was working during the days but still took so much initiative to help out even though he had filled his volunteer hours. He was always willing to help and was good at finding solutions! Grateful we could offer him an retreat from the city. Thank you Ivan

Had the most amazing time at the Center this month! The workload was reasonable and at your own pace, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and lake. The community made us feel so welcomed from the first day, especially the volunteer coordinator, Kelsey. The other volunteers were also amazing and it was cool to live with people from all over the world. There's always something going on in the community, so we got to try new activities we never would've done otherwise. Highly recommend a workstay at the Center!

Lexi and Dede are an incredible team, with so much friendliness and charisma the volunteer apartment lit up during their time here. They set the tone and the other volunteers fell into the great feeling of living together. They were super reliable, self-directed, trustworthy and well organized. Their personalities will be missed!
