🏢 About the local organisation

The Héritage Kinnear’s Mills society’s missions are to showcase the Kinnear’s Mills village’s historic site and to honour the rich cultural heritage that their founders left behind them. At this moment, the community’s limited human and financial resources mean it requires a helping hand from volunteers.

💼 What the programme involves

To be a volunteer camp co-leader is: • To be responsible for the supervision and realisation of a volunteer wok project in collaboration with another campleader ; • To assist a group of a dozen young volunteers coming from different countries and help them complete their project ; • To establish a good relationship between the volunteers, the local host and the local community. The ideal arrival is June 12th, in order to attend the training and to be there for the preparation days taking place that week. The volunteer will be co-leader on Kinnear’s Mills volunteer camp until July 1st. [The Héritage Kinnear’s Mills society needs volunteers to restore old buildings and promote tourism development. It wants to return the Anglican church, an important historic site for the local community, to its former glory. During this project, woodwork skills will be acquired. Most of the work will be done on the church and in its vicinity.]

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be sleeping in an old Anglican school and will cook their own meals. Access to internet will be limited.
