🏠 Accommodation on site
We will provide the volunteers all their costs: one way tickets, money for food and pocket money. We also provide accommodation - volunteers will live in a hostel created in a former train station building with other volunteers in shared rooms (2-3 volunteers in a room). This place is located in Hajnówka town in Podlasie, a unique region in eastern Poland with a rich history and traditions, surrounded by beautiful Białowieza forest.

Volunteers don’t need any prior experience in gardening, we will teach them all basics needed for work.

You will also prepare and take part in eco workshops and help us to breathe the artistic spirit into our new cultural, educational and artistic centre.
