My time at the Center was so special! Being surrounded by beautiful nature and having the ocean right at our doorstep to go swimming and snorkeling every day was amazing. The work was fair (though sometimes physically demanding due to heat and humidity) and the agreed-upon hours were respected. It was a great team of volunteers while I was there which enhanced my experience. Ryan and Corina Reare great hosts, always make sure to advocate for yourself and they will accommodate you. I would recommend other travelers to come here if they want to connect to nature and plant-based lifestyle.

I loved my time at the Center so much that I extended my stay! Corina & Ryan's property is beautiful, a true oasis. I enjoyed being surrounded by like-minded individuals when it comes to health & wellness as well as sustainability. I loved that there were bikes for the volunteers to borrow. Overall I learned new vegan recipes that I can incorporate into my everyday life and more ways to protect the environment through sustainability!

My time at the Center was short but i couldn't of asked for a better experience! Corina and Ryan are some of the kindest people i've ever met and they really made me feel welcomed. I enjoyed the tasks we were given which was mainly catering for a retreat. We got to work in the cookhouse with chef Niki and serve the guests. Niki is also an amazing person who made the job fun and she made great food! The property at the Center is beautiful and Corina did a great job telling us about it and the history of the Island. I recommend this experience 100% and hope to be back one day!

I really enjoyed my time at the Center and would love to come back one day! Ryan and Corina are very nice hosts and passionate about the environment and their projects. The landscapes surrounding the Inn are breathtaking and it's easy to explore the area as bikes and snorkeling gear are at ones disposal. Discovering more of the island will require to either rent a car or meet someone with a car, as cycling to Christiansted (by far the busiest place on the island) is impossible and taxis are completely overpriced. Nonetheless I loved my stay and got to make new friends!

This was my first ever volunteering experience. The working hours were as agreed to 5 hours a day, 5 times a week. The work was mostly cleaning, weeding or other work that needed to be done and although it was tough sometimes, it was also rewarding. The volunteers lived together in a small house which was super fun and I got to make amazing new friends. During your free time you get to experience island life: beach, snorkelling etc… Overall I think this was a great experience, thank you Ryan and Corina!

I had a fantastic time volunteering at the Center! The work hours and expectations were fair, the provided food was plentiful and delicious, and the accommodations were far more comfortable than other work-exchanges I've done. Ryan and Corina are so fun and very knowledgeable about the reef environment and island culture. I highly recommend staying at the Center. Go night snorkeling with Ryan, eat fresh mango, and swim in the ocean every day (: I'll be back!

This was amazing experience, definitely coming back as soon as I can. Ryan and Corina are wonderful people, you will learn a lot about vegan eating, sustainability, the ocean, and corals from them. Go night snorkeling with Ryan! The tasks can be very different for everyone, I mostly helped in the kitchen with breakfast and dishes, cleaning the main house and rooms, keeping plants alive and the pool clean. During my stay, there were not a lot of other volunteers, so I spend most of the time walking and wandering around alone, but it was a great place to better connect with nature and water.

Highly recommend spending your time here. The host are very friendly and accommodating. Also super hardworking and passionate about what they are doing. They went above and beyond. Work is straight forward. You have access to bikes and snorkel gear to use whenever you please. Great place to meet other travelers and build connections. The food is absolutely amazing. I am not vegan and was worried at first but I loved it. So many great things to eat. It is very hot but as expected. Make sure to bring work clothes that can get dirty.

My experience at the Center has been very good. The property is beautiful,. The accommodations here are really really nice compared to other work exchanges I've seen. The places where the volunteers live are really spacious. All food is provided they have tones of healthy food at the kitchen and always a fully stocked kitchen. Work is 5 hours mon-fri. Lots of different types of jobs I have done housekeeping, gardening and grouting with other people doing other types of tasks. Lots of bikes great for getting to the beach and to town. Great snorkeling places nearby too

The views where we work and the beaches next to the property are amazing. I had a lot of fun , I have met the most amazing volunteers there, but you have to be prepared for hard work and the sun. Also you will need to rent a car if you want to explore the whole island. Corina is always willing to listen and open to suggestions about how to improve.
