Arbeit

This natural park is a natural reserve that has two lines of volunteering, the first is focused on conservation and its activities are aimed at caring for and protecting the environment, and the second aims at education with children, an alternative school and learning community in the heart of the reserve. As a volunteer you can work in the line that you like the most, having the possibility of working in both lines if you wish. The activities carried out in volunteering are the following:

1. Accompany and assist investigations carried out in the reserve
2. Maintenance of different spots, such as the small lake “laguna”, forest nursery, organic gardens, trails and infrastructure
3. Environmental education
4. Waste and compost management
5. Support in reforestation-restoration work (planting days)
6. Accompany the local, learning community´s activities (accompany walks with the children, starting new projects, accompany learning processes, play...)
7. Language classes with the children (according to the language(s) the volunteer knows)
8. Suggest, develop and carry out new initiatives and projects
9. Other activities according to the skills and abilities of the volunteer and according to the needs of the natural park and community living there

Working with the children in the park requires a high level of commitment and empathy. We are not looking for teachers, we are looking for people who understand that children are responsible for their learning process, and who want to accompany them in their explorations and self-directed learning.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The volunteer house is located in the heart of a nature park. It has 2 shared rooms with beds available for 4 people individually and one double bed for a couple. There is also a bathroom, an equipped kitchen, a small living room, terrace and washing machine. The house is not always fully occupied. It may happen that you are the only volunteer, depending on the time of year.

Each volunteer who stays for at least two months is assigned a monthly budget to buy food according to his/her diet; the amount is enough to buy basic food in the local market. The volunteers are responsible for cooking their own meals, this is a perfect space to share recipes and carry out a culinary cultural exchange. Vegetarian food is available.

The water heater depends on the availability of gas. On some occasions, hot showers might not be available, but in general there is hot water available. The volunteers’ house has limited Wi-Fi (because there is only satellite internet in this remote area). It may only be used for basic needs, such as communication (some calls, messages, mails) and information (research, press), but not for large downloads, videos, streaming (music or movies), video calls, etc.

Lage und Freizeit

This natural park is located in the middle of a cloudy forest in the mountains, therefore it can be cold and rainy, depending on the season of the year. Given its location, the reserve is close to Bogotá (40 min approx.), there you will find many places to enjoy the Colombian culture.
In case you do not want to leave the reserve, we have some activities that you can do in your free time such as:
1. Night walks for wildlife watching (weekends)
2. Trekking inside and outside the park (e.g. visiting other village on trails)
3. Extreme sport and wellness activities: zip line, arborism, tree climbing, music therapy (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
4. Horseback riding (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
5. Bonfires
6. Birdwatching

Arbeit

Volunteers will have a diverse mission this summer, balancing nature restoration, urban maintenance, and community development. Alongside Sergio, a local worker, the team will focus on environmental action by performing direct maintenance, clearing footpaths, and preserving the surrounding trails of the breathtaking Fonts de l’Algar natural area. In addition to trail care, volunteers will take charge of a town infrastructure renovation, painting and restoring the local sports courts and the historic chapels of El Calvario. The project also features a strong social component: volunteers will integrate into village life by supporting some youth activities at the Punt Jove (Youth Center) and helping the Town Hall organize and run local summer events. Finally, a high degree of flexibility is required, as the team may be asked to support other ongoing community or logistical tasks organized by De Amicitia in the area, keeping the true spirit of comboi and teamwork alive throughout the 14 days.

Arbeit

“Youth for Smile”, in partnership with a local NGO, is revitalising the former orphanage building in Lauderi village and transforming it into a centre for non-formal education and community activities.
Volunteers play a key role in this transformation. Through practical work and shared initiative, you will help prepare the territory and the building for its new purpose.
Your Tasks and Activities
Outdoor Area Maintenance (approx. 4 hectares)
The area surrounding the former orphanage is about 4 hectares large. Volunteers will help:
Mow the grass
Clear bushes and overgrown areas
Clean and organise the territory
This work is essential to make the area safe, accessible, and ready for future community use.
Building Preparation
Inside the building, volunteers will assist with:

Dismantling damaged interior finishing (such as wall panels or other worn elements)
Clearing debris
Preparing rooms for future renovation works
This is preparatory work — the goal is to create clean and ready spaces for the next phase of reconstruction.
Community Engagement
The local community is currently not very active, and hosting international volunteers is also a new experience for them. One of our aims is to gently encourage the start of dialogue and cooperation.
Together with volunteers, we will take the first steps toward building communication with local residents — through small meetings, informal conversations, and shared moments. This is an important social aspect of the project, alongside the physical renovation work.
This workcamp is not only about practical tasks, but also about creating connections — with the place, with its history, and with the people who live there.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation
Volunteers will stay in a rural house close to the project site. Beds will be provided, but living conditions are simple and basic. The accommodation reflects the rural environment and offers an authentic experience close to nature.
Please be prepared for modest comfort and a shared living space. This is part of the experience of simple and environmentally conscious living.
As the project promotes sustainability, volunteers are strongly encouraged to use environmentally friendly personal hygiene products (biodegradable soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.). Through daily practice, we aim to integrate eco-friendly habits into everyday life.
Food and Cooking
Meals will be prepared by the volunteers themselves in a shared kitchen. Cooking will be organised in small teams, encouraging cooperation, responsibility, and teamwork.
This is also an opportunity to exchange recipes, learn about different food cultures, and enjoy time together beyond the working hours.
During the camp, we will organise an International Evening. Volunteers are kindly asked to bring some traditional or typical food (or small items/ingredients) from their home country to share with the group.
Living conditions are basic, but the experience offers closeness to nature, community spirit, and shared responsibility — all essential elements of this workcamp.

Lage und Freizeit

The project takes place in Lauderi village, located in Ludza municipality in Eastern Latvia. The area is rural, peaceful, and surrounded by forests and natural landscapes. It is a good place to experience quiet countryside life and nature.
During free time, volunteers can explore the surrounding area, go for walks, and enjoy the calm environment. There are also opportunities to visit nearby towns and historical places in the region.
Life in a small village allows volunteers to meet local residents and learn about their daily life and traditions.
Volunteers will plan their free-time activities together as a group. This can include small excursions, cultural visits, outdoor activities, or simply relaxing in nature.
More information about Latvia can be found on the official tourism website: https://www.latvia.travel/en](https://www.latvia.travel/en
This location offers a simple and authentic rural experience, with time for both exploration and community life.

Arbeit

Volunteers will support the work of the Kadampa Art Studio (KAS) by sanding, refining, and finishing Buddha statues and decorative elements for temples and centres around the world. It’s a hands-on role where you can contribute to beautiful, high-quality craftsmanship in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Along the way, you’ll pick up practical skills such as surface preparation, finishing techniques, and working with fine detail. The work encourages a mindful approach and will help you build patience, focus, and a sense of calm as you work carefully with each piece.

Many volunteers find the experience both grounding and rewarding, offering a chance to slow down, learn something new, and take pride in creating something that will be appreciated by others.

No previous experience is needed, and you don’t need to be religious. You just need to be open-minded, willing to learn, and happy to get involved as part of a supportive team.

Please note that some tasks involve working with fine dust, and appropriate safety equipment such as dust masks will be provided and should be worn when required.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers will stay on-site at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in shared, single-gender dormitories. Accommodation is simple, comfortable, and designed to encourage community living and cultural exchange among participants.

Shared bathroom and toilet facilities are also single-gender. Volunteers should be prepared for communal living and respect the privacy and comfort of others.

Three vegetarian or vegan meals per day will be provided. Meals are nutritious, freshly prepared. Tea and coffee facilities will also be available.

Please inform the organisers in advance of any dietary requirements or allergies.

Lage und Freizeit

Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre is located near the historic market town of Ulverston in Cumbria, on the edge of the beautiful Lake District National Park, one of the UK's most famous natural areas.

• Explore the Lake District's stunning mountains, lakes, and walking trails.
• Visit nearby towns such as Ulverston, Kendal, and Ambleside.
• Enjoy local cafés, shops, and cultural attractions.

The combination of meaningful volunteer work and access to one of the UK's most beautiful regions makes this a unique and rewarding experience.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre is the mother centre of a worldwide network of modern Kadampa Buddhist centres founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, who guided every aspect of the centre's development for over 40 years.

It is a special place dedicated to world peace, where people from all backgrounds can find inner peace, learn practical methods to solve everyday problems, and develop the ability to help others do the same.

The centre is based at Conishead Priory, a Grade II* listed Romantic Gothic house located just south of the English Lake District. Set within 70 acres of woodland and gardens on the shores of Morecambe Bay, it provides a peaceful and inspiring environment for volunteering, learning, and reflection.

Volunteering at Manjushri KMC offers a unique and enriching experience, both personally and spiritually. As part of an international community, volunteers spend time with people from many countries and all walks of life, each bringing different perspectives, experiences, and skills.

Those who wish can learn about meditation and explore Buddhist teachings, while enjoying the supportive atmosphere of a warm and welcoming community. In their free time, volunteers can easily explore the breathtaking lakes, mountains, and villages of the Lake District, one of the most beautiful regions of the United Kingdom.

Arbeit

The workcamp will focus on restoring the mountain hut and its surroundings, preparing the place for the winter season and future projects. Participants will engage in hands-on tasks, contributing to the upkeep of the space. The camp will involve volunteers in a variety of maintenance activities, from artistic and painting projects to wood collection and manual work, allowing room for creativity and responding to the immediate needs of the site. The daily workload will be approximately 6 hours per day.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Rifugio Cognolo is a charming mountain hut featuring three main areas: a fully equipped kitchen, a multipurpose room, and a covered patio. The hut is off the grid, with electricity provided by solar panels, and does not have Wi-Fi. Facilities include two bathrooms, one of which is an outdoor dry toilet, and solar-heated showers. The indoor spaces will be primarily used by staff for cooking and as shelter in case of rain, while volunteers will sleep in tents in the camping area surrounding the hut. Please note that, considering the altitude of the shelter, it is essential to bring appropriate equipment, such as a thermal sleeping bag, to stay comfortable during colder nights.
Volunteers will take an active role in managing the space, including cleaning and meal preparation, through organized cooking and cleaning shifts. They will have access to a pantry and will plan and prepare weekly menus, taking into account allergies, dietary preferences, and nutritional needs.
Participants can bring typical dry food of their countries to share, but note that there won’t be a fridge.
Alcohol and drugs are not allowed in the camp.

Lage und Freizeit

Rifugio Cognolo sits at 1000m above sea level in the Sabine Mountains, near the village of Casperia. It is reachable by a moderately challenging 2.5 hour hike, offering volunteers the chance to fully immerse themselves in a setting far removed from everyday life, surrounded by beech forests and breathtaking mountain views. The camp is located in Bassa Sabina, about an hour away from Rome, a rural region defined by the striking contrast between rugged mountain ranges, gentle rolling hills, and the fertile plains of the Tiber River valley with olive groves, vineyards, and small hillside villages dotting the landscape.
The free time activity will be organized by the leaders to allow participants to explore the surroundings.
Due to the relative isolation of the mountain hut, visits to Rome or other nearby towns will not be possible during the workcamp.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The camp is made in collaboration with the association ALA. Since 2009, ALA association has been working to develop the rural area where it is based, revitalizing the spaces it occupies. Over the years, it has transformed abandoned structures into vibrant community hubs, welcoming both locals and international youth, who have been an integral part of the renovation process. The mountains play a central role in the community, serving for years as a space of active work aimed at making them more accessible through trail cleaning and marking. Through non-formal education and a learning by doing approach, the association offers a place to explore and challenge ourselves, discover our limits, and celebrate our strengths.

Anforderungen

Volunteers will sleep in tents so they have to bring their sleeping bag. Participants must carry their belongings in a backpack, as they will arrive at the camp site on foot. It is important to bring proper equipment such as comfortable clothes and hiking shoes.

Since 2000, volunteers from all over the world have participated in summer programs designed to help improve the vegetable farm at the Childcare Center of Mongolia (Children's Home). However, between 2014-2018 they decided to discontinue their farming activities due to a lack of human resources and the unavailability of farming land. In 2017, our organization managed to rent farming land for the Children's Home, and they resumed their farming activities on this new land. As a result, our cooperation with their farm restarted in 2018. One of the main roles of international volunteers will be assisting with the farming work at the Children's Home.

According to the Nordic sagas Hiiumaa emerged from the Baltic Sea as a small islet more than 10 000 years ago. The island of Hiiumaa was first mentioned in historical documents as a deserted island called Dageida in 1228. The first inhabitants settled down at the end of the 13th century. Nowadays Hiiumaa is the second biggest island of Estonia with the area of 965 sq. km and the population around 9 000. It has many historical and nature sights, and there are kind people known for their hospitality and good sense of humor. The island is referred as a remote area of Europe, so EstYES feels particularly proud developing international voluntary projects for over 20 years there. For decades EstYES has been cooperating with farms all over Estonia to show solidarity and give practical support to local people who work in agricultural sector keeping traditional life style and developing new eco-farming despite of difficulties they face. Lepaniidi Farm on Hiiumaa is one of such projects. This is an organic farm promoting sustainable lifestyle, and camp is offered to volunteers who appreciate and share its values, want to learn more about it and help hard working people.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

ProjectFor a decade EstYES promotes camps where parents and children can participate together. The idea is to create a kind of temporary community where adults and children can share ideas of voluntary activity for the benefit of rural area. Camp schedule allows adults to act as volunteers like in any other voluntary camp working 4-5 hours a day for practical tasks. Meanwhile children work as well, in the sense that they take part in the activities helping parents and sharing easy tasks with them. Local hosts supported by parents care about the children during the working activities, providing snacks, proposing games and activities, etc. In the daily free time and during days off group excursions and other activities will be organised by the local hosts. Parents can join the camp in pair or alone with their children. Some English is necessary for parents in order to communicate among them and with the campleader. The camp follows a positive experience of almost 20 years VenueIt is a very long tradition for EstYES to organize international workcamps in co-operation with Kiidi Farm located in the Voru County in the South of Estonia. With the support of the state and local authorities the eco- and farm sustainable tourism has been developed in this area. Besides promoting the environmental tourism, this initiative supports rural development, which is an important issue for Estonia. Estonian Association of Farm Tourism has launched several projects, and Kiidi Farm, where the camp takes place, is one of them. It is run by large Piho family with 8 kids, who were kids when we started our cooperation but are young adults of different age now. Nevertheless, they continue to contribute to the camp success.
