At For Freedom House, Munnar, we’re looking for creative DIY lovers and experienced carpenters to co-create unique spaces in the middle of a 160-acre cardamom farm. You’ll help us design and improve common areas, build small structures and furniture with wood from the land, and develop new experiences that bring travelers together.
Typical tasks include repairing and upgrading existing spaces, building decks and chill-out corners, working on eco‑friendly tree houses on the giant trees, painting, simple landscaping, and keeping outdoor areas safe and inviting. We encourage you to share your ideas, sketch concepts, and collaborate with us on sustainable designs that respect the forest and farm.
Volunteers can expect 4–5 hours of focused work on project days, with clear guidance, tools and materials, and plenty of creative freedom. The rest of the time is yours to enjoy our three waterfalls, forest hikes and sunrise treks inside the property, read or work from quiet corners, and connect with other travelers around bonfires, games and community dinners.
From us, you’ll receive a welcoming local team, comfortable hostel accommodation, basic kitchen access, and support to explore Munnar and learn about cardamom farming and mountain life. In return, we expect responsibility with tools, respect for nature and local culture, good communication, and a genuine wish to build something beautiful and sustainable together.
