Detalhes

As our volunteer, your work will happen around the house, both inside and outside and tasks depends on season and what area currently is being worked on. We do also have own green garden where we grow some vegetables etc for our table. You'll learn various skills useful when you live in a single house, renovation etc.

Our house is located right next to public transport. You can reach city center of Helsinki in 30-40 minutes.
