Program Description
Volunteer as a Camphill Co-worker in Ireland
Description
In our community we work together to create an environment that encourages each person to develop his or her full potential and volunteers play a very important role. Volunteers help us with the day to day care of adults with special needs, which may include physical care, emotional support, or simply companionship. You may be asked to help us maintain our houses, cook meals with veg from the organic garden, or help out in one of the workshops (especially the garden and weavery). The contribution volunteers make to our cultural life bring diversity and an every-changing dynamic to our community life. We are situated on 50 acres with four households, an organic farm and garden, and a weavery. We are in the process of developing new workshops and ideas are welcome!
Highlights
Volunteering in Camphill offers a rich social and cultural experience. We are situated in a lovely rural setting in Co. Tipperary within cycling distance to a traditional pub (for fans of Irish music). Our community is part of a network of Camphill Communities in Ireland and we offer an Introductory Course for all volunteers in the area where you can learn more about life and work with people with special needs while meeting other international volunteers in the area. We are within walking distance to a bus stop, and just about half-way between Dublin and Cork for those who wish to travel while they are here. We are about 20 minutes by bus from Callan, where there is the excellent KCAT center for the arts. After completing one year voluntary work in the community, volunteers may enquire about being supported to join KCAT for a second year, either part-time or full-time.
