Brief sketch
We are looking for volunteers who can offer 1 academic year to support special needs students who are aged between 16 and 25 years old. We are an authentic Camphill Community with a residential College and an adult Co-Housing project.
College life revolves around 2 cosy family houses and a large beautifully converted monastery. Our volunteers are responsible for helping and supporting the students journey through college. Education takes place in movement and art sessions, the bakery, pottery, garden, weaving workshop and house communities.
We regret we are unable to consider applications from anyone under 18 years old, or offer short-term holiday and work experience placements.
