I had the best time here helping the community! Mathieu and his family were amazing and made me feel super welcome! Mathieu is so friendly and kind and if you have any issues he will listen and do his best to help resolve them. He gave me and the other volunteers plenty of recommendations and would give us rides when he was available. The hours are set but also flexible. If you want an extra day off to go explore a different area that's totally possible! I was able to practice my French a bit and loved being in beautiful nature. I learned so much and would definitely return!
