Program Details

As a volunteer your accommodation is a lovely nature retreat stay in a small tinyhouse in the middle of the permaculture garden (see picture). This is basic and therefore you must like camping and outdoor life! Also during winter.

We welcome volunteers who recognize themselves in the profile of being a nature lover who enjoys a back to basic experience, gardening and outdoor life. With enthusiasm, energy and ideas to spend the day with 2 teenagers surrounded by nature and create nice activities with them. Maybe you play an instrument or you have a creative hobby to share? And we invite you to take board games from your country. Our teenagers also like to share their knowledge about birds and 3D animations. There is always a lot to help in our permaculture garden and around the farm.

Activities & Shift

Average amount of hours a day is 5 hours five days a week. Together we enjoy meals now and then and some activities like yoga and music making. You can also cycle or walk around the beautiful countryside.

Rules

We are a warm family, but we have a severely chronically ill family member. This makes that our family is very busy, so you must be able to work independently. The evenings we take our rest as a family, so you will spend these on your own.

Do you enjoy interaction with our teenagers, nature, organic living and (social) permaculture? And are you an independent helper with hands-on mentality? Then if you mention the word "chocolate pie" in your message to us, we know you have completely read our profile. Welcome to introduce yourself.

We ask for no smoking, no drugs and no alcohol please. For internet you have to use your own 4G.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
