💼 What the programme involves

*NOTE: Apply by sending an E-Mail to [email protected] with your CV + letter of motivation! We have currently an open position for a ESC-volunteer for the area of "Plant Nursery&Gardening"! Sunnahof is a biodynamic farm as well as a social organisation. Our general principle is “people need people” no matter if you have any disabilities or not. As a volunteer at Sunnahof, you will have a varied role and therefore gain invaluable experience and skills for working with people with intellectual disabilities and behavioral problems. On that course, you will learn a lot about their ways of living as well as disability issues and issues facing the local community. You will also learn how to work along with people with disabilities and how to increase their skills and promote their independence. The area of Plant Nursery and Gardening is about substantial work around plants, herbs and vegetables.

For this you will get extra food money to buy your groceries :) The infrastructure with trains and buses is easy and quick and you will also have a bicycle at your disposal.
