Program Details
Our volunteers will be primarily engaged in activities related to managing our holiday home: welcoming guests, arranging the rooms and common spaces, and laundry.
Additionally, based on individual interests, they will be able to get to know and participate in the life of the local community and in local initiatives.
As resident staff, we expect them to monitor and safeguard our home with a vigilant eye.
We commit to guiding the volunteers in the initial phase and to transferring the basic skills necessary for the requested tasks.
Furthermore, we will be a constant presence, partly in person, partly remotely, for all that they may need.
Activities & Shift
Daily tasks include tidying the common areas, the dining room, the kitchen, the bathrooms, and the stairs, as well as changing the beds in the rooms and handling the laundry.
