This position is for you, if you are ready to explore, learn, meet new people and discover your new story. It is for you, if you want to put your hands and skills into the experimental combination of international projects, construction and natural building, organic gardening and permaculture, management and administration, local renewable energy systems, communication and research, community-building and personal development.
As an all-round Green Skills volunteer your days in Suderbyn can take many colorful forms, and be filled with a broad variety of tasks. It is a position that gives you the possibility to try out different areas and engage yourself in different domains so that you can discover new things about yourself while contributing to what Suderbyn wants to achieve. .
But be aware; living and working in Suderbyn is not only an everyday life full of new horizon-expanding tasks. Ecovillage life also implies a lot of practical work such as cleaning the compost toilets, working outside in the rain, fixing the sewage system, and whatever needs to be done to meet deadlines. We hope that you are ready to help out with the less-glamorous tasks when necessary.
