Program Details

we expect our Worldpackers to be proactive, respectful, and open to learning about ecological living, permaculture, and the “Work That Reconnects” methodology. Volunteers should participate in daily tasks, help maintain the house and gardens, and engage with the community while respecting house rules, safety guidelines, and shared spaces.

In return, volunteers can expect a supportive, off-grid environment for personal growth and ecological learning, with opportunities to connect with nature, practice sustainable living, and experience seasonal changes. You’ll share meals, rotate chores, and have free time to explore the surrounding area. We aim for a mutually enriching experience based on cooperation, respect, and ecological values.
