Arbeit

The vibrancy of our community and scope of volunteering are reflected in both our Residential Homes and our Day Program. Stanton Home has a team of 70+ dedicated professionals who partner with and provide support to over 20 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These adults live in residential homes in the Berkshires and come together for an active Day Program with on-site activities including organic gardening, composting, music, yoga, hiking, weaving, culinary arts, and various activities throughout the local community including horseback riding, swimming and pottery.

Stanton Home has been providing care for adults with diverse needs since 1986. Volunteers serve as a part of the Residential Life at Stanton Home as well as in our Day Program. Volunteers assist with daily living activities and the direct care necessary for the health, safety, and well-being of the people we support.

Stanton Home has six residential homes. Each home is unique to the individuals who live there. Volunteers play an active role in the rhythms and routines of residential daily life. There are things to be done from dawn to bedtime.

Volunteers are an important part of each residential team (along with house managers, case managers and staff) that supports the day-to-day household operations and plans together to best balance the contributions and needs of everyone. A volunteer’s residential duties and responsibilities support individual needs and encourage individual independence:

● Companionship - As companions, volunteers build relationships by living together in the house and sharing day-to-day lived experiences. To enrich relationships, volunteers engage in hobbies and activities based on residents’ interests. Volunteers are encouraged to share their own talents with residents as well. As a group, households attend cultural events, potlucks and other planned gatherings to join and celebrate as a community.
● Direct Care - Volunteers assist with the daily living activities which support the day to day activities of the residents of the house as well as the overall running of the household (for example doing laundry, dusting and cleaning, shopping, preparing meals and baking, providing rides to appointments).
● Personal care - Volunteers support the personal care of our residents. Personal care means assisting with the health and hygiene of individuals (for example dressing, washing, bathing, brushing teeth, and mobility support). The level of personal care required depends upon the unique needs of each resident.

Day Program

Day Program duties and responsibilities focus on building occupational and social skills. The Day Program supports the interests of a wide range of individuals, both from Stanton Home and the extended special needs community. Day Program activities include hiking, gardening, culinary, weaving, music and other activities such as swimming, therapeutic horseback riding and therapeutic art and dance classes held at community partnership organizations. A focus is on supporting individuals in achieving goals and building positive social relationships.
Training: Volunteers receive support and supervision from the Volunteer Coordinator, House Managers, Case Managers, staff and other administrative staff. Additionally, the Volunteer Coordinator may act as on-site mentor and inter-cultural liaison. Volunteers participate in the following mandatory trainings:
● Orientation - to become familiar with procedures, key properties and complete necessary paperwork.
● Initial Training - to learn about the history of Stanton Home, mission and values; to understand regulations, policies and protocols including: HIPAA, professional boundaries, medical and behavioral emergencies, fire safety, incident reporting, minor injury protocol, health observation guidelines, mandated reporting, etc.
● Residential Training - shadowing House Manager and staff in residential life including: schedules, routines, meals, activities, general household rules, personal care, medicine distribution (if applicable), safety and documentation.
● Certifications - online training and certifications for First Aid, CPR and bloodborne pathogens.
Schedule: Volunteers are scheduled for approximately 40 hours per week, as outlined in the volunteer contract. This schedule includes both Residential hours and Day Program hours, morning, afternoon, evening, overnight shifts weekdays and weekends. Volunteers receive 2 days off each week and accrue 2 days of vacation for each month of volunteer service completed. Vacation requires prior approval.

Important Qualities: A caring mindset, empathy and compassion. Enthusiasm and eagerness to learn. A team oriented approach and the commitment to developing positive relationships with residents, program participants, staff and other volunteers. Dependable, professional and task-oriented.
Requirements: Volunteers must be at least 18 years old, speak at least intermediate English and have a valid driver's license permitting driving in the US is required. Volunteers need to have a phone with an active plan to make and receive calls within the United States. The cost of maintaining a calling plan is a volunteer's responsibility.
Additional Information: English Language tutoring is available locally.
Pocket Money: A set monthly stipend is provided to volunteers to help cover personal and incidental expenses.

Arbeit

Volunteers are welcomed and live as part of a household where they help with the running of the home they also enjoy. During the work week they join a team on the land, bakery, food preserving kitchen, construction/woodworking, or crafts, facilitating, learning, and helping the team reach their goal. Weekends and evenings are filled with social and vocational opportunities. The type of volunteer work is matched to the individual’s tastes and strengths to optimize the most fulfilling experience for all. The hours vary and follow a farm-life structure with some early mornings and late nights in the growing season and a creative, co operative, and flexible attitude to social opportunities and travel to best suit everyone.
Coworker position requires a motivated person who enjoys being part of a team. Practical idealism, an appreciation of the outdoors, and a wish to make a real difference in the world helps! Previous agricultural experience or experience of people with disabilities is not necessary, but an open mind and a wish to learn definitely is.

Join the Lyukóvölgy summer camp and help create unforgettable experiences for children aged 6 to 18! Be part of an international volunteer team that makes a real difference in their lives. As a volunteer, you can teach English, lead games and sports activities, and, most importantly, bring confidence, trust, and joy to the children. The camp starts each day between 8:00 and 8:30 when the children arrive. The morning kicks off with group exercise or dance at 9:00, followed by an hour of sports—ping pong, football, badminton, or any activity you enjoy leading. From 11:00 to 13:00, thematic workshops focus on career orientation (sharing your studies and work experience) and healthy living. Around 30 children participate daily. The official program ends with a shared lunch at 13:00, but your involvement doesn’t have to stop there. You can help with learning, play with younger kids, organize activities for teens, or even join a herb-collecting trip!

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

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.

Children Development is one of the major programs at VIN Integrated Community Development Approach. The Goal of the Childrens development program is to protect the rights of all children by providing them access to basic quality education, developing their life skills (creativity, leadership etc.) and providing access to health and hygiene services. VIN has different projects under children s development program such as Children s Clubs (CC), Early Childhood Development (ECD), School Attendance (Teacher Development, Parenting Education, School Infrastructure Development, and Child Sponsorship), and Child Care. Even these days in Nepal, schools are focused mainly on examination and are not doing enough to develop life skills like creativity and leadership for children. Teachers only focus on reading and writing U? 1/2 rote learning. Creativity and individual differences in children are not explored. Due to the busy work schedule of parents, most of the children do not have an opportunity to socialize and be creative. These types of camps are so essential to provide life skills development opportunities to children aged between 5-12 years old. We work only with disadvantaged communities as these families cannot afford to take their children to holidays during their Winter and Summer breaks. Children don t have a proper structure and environment at home or a school to develop their innate talents. Children s camp (during winter and summer breaks) is one of the best places to explore their natural skills such as creativity and leadership. In this work camp, national and international volunteers will facilitate different types of fun and creative activities for the children where VIN works. Objectives: To provide unique opportunities for overall development (social, emotional, physical, mental, creativity) and provide a fun time for children aged between 5 and 12 utilizing their vacation period. To promote friendship, understanding, and solidarity among local young volunteers and cross-national volunteers. To provide an opportunity to understand and appreciate the Nepalese culture and traditions via cultural immersion.

VIN s Environmental and Conservation Programs raise community awareness of critical environmental issues and develop effective solutions. VIN runs various ecological projects that aim to conserve, promote, and protect the environment and culture while preventing, mitigating, and controlling water, land, and air pollution to enhance the health, safety, and welfare of current and future generations. We utilize permaculture for sustainable farming and have been teaching and implementing it since 2018. We believe that permaculture plays a vital role in restoring the entire ecosystem Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a major celebration in Nepal, symbolizing the victory of good over evil and the arrival of spring. During this lively festival, people throw colored powders and water to share blessings and celebrate a bountiful harvest. Originally a Hindu tradition, Holi is now celebrated by many, including non-Hindus across South Asia and beyond. The festivities include gathering with family and friends, playing music, and enjoying special foods and drinks. Volunteers help prepare and celebrate the Holi festival in the community.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This project is actively working for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with the local group since 2019. This village has been welcoming Ohenro (pilgrims) who visit 88 temples in Shikoku since long time ago. The pilgrims walk through this village before visiting Kakurin-ji temple; the 20th temple out of 88 temples of the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage. However, there are problems which should be solved such as aging and depopulation of the community these days, and locals haven't been able to find solutions for those problems. On the other hand, since more and more people from overseas visit for the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage locals are trying to find new ways for omotenashi (hospitality). Volunteers who have been working on the project have come up with ideas for the reuse of vacant and abandoned land. Local host Oi have finally decided that they can freely renovate and modify the vacant houses. Moreover, the site is in a good location, with mountains, a river and fields. It is up to the volunteers from now on to decide how to develop the project. The aim is for the volunteer members to clean up the abandoned houses and village landscape and transform it into a village that people will want to visit to take photos, as it used to be a village where people came and went since ancient times.

Come to our camp if you feel that…

Thanks to archaeology, the remains of our cultural ancestors can be found, studied and understood. You do not need experience to participate in “Paper Road”. You will work with an archaeologist and historian. The volunteer camp takes place at the foot of the mountain, in the Paular valley, a place historically linked to the Los Batanes estate as a model of industrial development such as the use of different hydraulic devices to take advantage of water energy. This is where the galley proofs with which the first edition of Don Quixote was published were produced.

Why participate in our field?

In “Camino de Papel”, participants will carry out a series of specific archaeological activities in different locations with the aim of discovering archaeological remains based on previous research.
For 15 days, you will be able to enjoy a special vacation, meeting people from other regions and countries.

Tasks specific to the field of volunteering


 Clearing and cleaning of existing vegetation , both inside and outside and around the perimeter of archaeological structures.
 Manual cleaning and scraping of construction parts (walls, floors, etc.) , removing vegetation that is harmful to architectural elements. If archaeological objects are found, they will be collected, documented and stored for later study.
 Excavate certain structures using archaeological methodology , developing strict stratigraphic documentation of the levels of deposition and the construction units that may exist in the subsoil. In this process, all archaeological material will be collected. An archaeological survey is also planned.
 Register all archaeological material collected for research and subsequent storage in the Regional Archaeological Museum of the Community of Madrid, as established by current legislation.

Immerse yourself in history by taking part in a unique archaeological research project at the citadel of Doullens! Your mission will be to clear a mound of earth blocking access to an unexplored underground passage. Using careful excavation techniques, you will dig and sift through each layer of soil, searching for historical artifacts and hidden remnants of the past. This workcamp is a true archaeological adventure, offering the chance to uncover long-buried secrets of this remarkable site.
Come and visit this area where JRR Tolkien lived and got inspired to create his worldly known universe of Lord of the Rings.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be accommodated in individual tents within one of the citadel’s gardens, a unique and historic setting. A former jail will serve as a communal living space, providing a dining area and a sheltered retreat in case of bad weather. Sanitary facilities will be available in an annex building, while showers will be accessible at the town’s gym, a 15-minute walk from the campsite.

Collective living will be at the heart of this experience: you will share daily tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be managed by the animation team for grocery shopping, and you will be encouraged to use fresh, local, and seasonal products for healthy, mainly vegetarian and delicious meals.

Lage und Freizeit

Doullens is located in the northern part of the Somme, at the crossroads between Amiens, Arras, and Abbeville. This strategic position places it within easy reach of historical and cultural landmarks, including the stunning Gothic cathedral of Amiens, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the vibrant city of Arras, known for its beautiful squares and underground tunnels.

Surrounded by picturesque countryside, Doullens offers a peaceful setting perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking and exploring the region’s rich history. Volunteers will have the opportunity to visit nearby sites like the Baie de Somme, one of France’s most breathtaking natural reserves, Samara archeological parc or explore the remnants of World War I battlefields.

After a first collaboration in 2019 on the archaeological site of Samara, the EPCC of the Somme has decided to renew our partnership for an exciting new project: the exploration and enhancement of the underground tunnels of the Doullens citadel. This initiative reflects a shared commitment to preserving and showcasing historical heritage while engaging young international volunteers in a mission of discovery and cultural transmission.

The city of Doullens and the EPCC are fully dedicated to welcoming volunteers and will ensure a friendly and enriching experience. Many interactions with locals and community members are planned, providing a deep immersion into the region’s culture and history. This work camp is a unique opportunity to actively contribute to the preservation of an iconic site while sharing meaningful moments with the local community.

+ Exchange with local villagers: Peace will be one topic to share and to discuss, but you will also get to know local associations and be able to exchange ideas about everyday life today. They are very excited to meet you and will be glad to share stories with you about their experience in this border area. It would be great if you can speak a bit of German and/or are able to communicate with a phone translator.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will stay in the former village hall that is renovated now and includes several holiday apartments. They offer a quite comfortable stay and ensure enough room for everyone. There are different sleeping rooms with beds provided and a good equipped kitchen as well. Wifi-acess is limited. Bear in mind that the ground floor of the building is used for different activites during the week, and don’t be scared if you see some unfamiliar faces roaming around!

Your group of volunteers will be responsible for grocery shopping and cooking together. The food will be bought with the camp budget and everybody will take turns for cooking, washing the dishes and cleaning. In order to reduce our carbon footprint on the planet, we encourage volunteers to reduce meat and try more sustainable dishes.

Lage und Freizeit

Hötensleben is a little village with about 2,500 inhabitants. International workcamps have been taking place there for some 25 years, so local inhabitants are looking forward to welcome the volunteers. Many activities will be done together with locals, e.g. the voluntary fire brigade of Hötensleben.

Volunteers should be interested in German contemporary history. We will work at and visit historical places and commemoration sites related to Germany’s history.

You will be given bicycles so that you can be mobile in your free time and, for example, go to the swimming pool.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

You will be hosted in a very special village. From 1961 to 1989, the Wall with its martial border fortifications ran right next to the village. It divided Germany into two parts and was part of the so-called Iron Curtain. The people of Hötensleben lived in a restricted zone for almost 30 years and always had the Wall in view. To this day, 400 metres of the border fortifications have been preserved as a memorial and are visited by many visitors. Here you can find an impression of the border memorial: http://www.grenzdenkmal.com
2025 marks the 35th anniversary of German reunification. This should be taken as a sign of hope for Germany, Korea and the whole world and from the basis for further discussions. Questions about war and peace, migration and its causes, isolation and violence are unfortunately still very topical issues today. This project in Hötensleben gives you the opportunity to learn more about the time of the Iron Curtain and the division of Germany and to reflect on what peace means to you and how you can contribute to it. At the end, you will present your personal perspective on the topic of "peace" to the local villagers and discuss it with them. German speakers are therefore particularly welcome.
