Volunteering to work in Camphill

Why not spend a year as a Volunteer in a Camphill Community!

Enjoying a year as a volunteer (co-worker) in a Camphill Community is an exciting and rewarding challenge. Living in an extended family environment with other co-workers and individuals most likely with a learning disability, you will learn to collaborate, take on responsibility and experience the satisfaction of contributing a caring Community as part of a dynamic modern social initiative.
