At our ecovillage we provide volunteers with a positive, educational experience. Our volunteer program seeks to build public awareness of the concept of sustainability and the Ecovillage movement. We are looking for good people in winter months to help with carpentry/woodworking/infrastructure repair, cleaning common areas, gardening in the greenhouses, working with animals, and, if you are long-term volunteer, to join our admin team.

My experience at the eco village was delightful, I felt very welcome and at home, the hosts and guests made me feel like I've been part of the community forever. I truly admire and appreciate how everyone works together in community and the site is beautiful. I loved working in the garden and with the animals and it made me connect with nature in a unique way. I also love how the larger community comes together and how everyone connects with each other. I will forever cherish my time and experience there.

Sebastian - you truly are a special and caring person! You have left such warmth in everyone's heart and every day, a few times a day, folks are saying how much they miss you! You have been so flexible and learned so much about the farm, design, natural building, and even how to pull off a wedding!! We are grateful for your kindness and connection with our local Indigenous partners and for how much you learned about Canada from that perspective....Sebas you have OUR highest recommendation!!!

My experience at OUR the eco village was life changing and I recommend it to anyone willing to immerse themselves in a community and build real connections with those living with you. The opportunities we had to work with animals plants and hands on was exactly what I was looking for as my day to day life whilst still having time to explore there beautiful nature around shawnigan lake and surrounding provincial parks. The opportunity to learn about indigenous culture and the culture built at the eco village through the people that have been there long term was a perfect introduction to Canada.

Jake.....you are an outstanding young man!! You truly brought a sense of integrity, caring, and an athentic sense of wonder into OUR Ecovillage. Your attention to the needs of the moment but also seeing a bigger picture was really appreciated. You certainly demonstrated an honest and 'can-do' learning style with everything you put your hand to. Any other host would be lucky to have you and we also hope to see you back around this side of the pond one day!
Be well out there.....Brandy
