📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Caerhys Organic Community Agriculture (COCA)
💼 What the programme involves
COCA is looking for 2 EVS volunteers from EU member countries to help support and develop their work at Caerhys Organic Farm.
The following areas will always be part of the EVS role:
The EVS volunteers will be actively involved in the farm work: growing, planting, transplanting and planning community growing as part of the Growing Team.
The volunteers will also be involved with other sub groups from the core group working on:
- Promotion Team: Social media, website content, getting involved and meeting with local community to raise awareness and promote the work of COCA.
- Events Team: planning various local events, e.g. annual harvest party.
- Distribution Team: delivering fruits and vegetables boxes to drop of points
- Membership Team: Planning volunteering days and working on good relationship with members.
All EVS volunteers will work 35 hours per week and will receive at least 2 days holiday per month. As well as this, they will have two consecutive days a week
🏠 Accommodation on site
The 2 EVS volunteers will live together in a static mobile home on Caerhys Organic Farm. Each of them will have their own separate bedroom but will share kitchen, bathroom and sitting room. The static mobile home is in good condition and has been used as accommodation throughout the year for previous international volunteers. The accommodation is on site and close to the farm house where the supervisor and mentor are living. The bus stop is about 500 meters up the road to catch buses going into the city of St. Davids (only 3 busses run every day).
⚠️ Requirements
COCA is looking for volunteers with an interest in environment, agriculture, horticulture, community work, and community growing. Experience of working on a farm may be useful but is not our foremost criteria. The projects hosted by COCA are open to all young people, regardless of background, competences and experience.
Application deadline: 28/08/2017
ℹ️ Additional information
Because the project is very remote/ isolated, the volunteers should be interested and motivated in living in a beautiful but remote area of West Wales. The living conditions of this project are VERY BASIC. There is limited INTERNET on the farm and very bad signal.
