📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
RETRO is a Danish organization run mainly by volunteers who run two non-profit cafés in Copenhagen and three development projects in Sierra Leone, West Africa. The work camp will take place at our non-profit café in the center of Copenhagen, Café Retro. Café Retro has around 60 volunteers, many of them are non-Danes living in Copenhagen. We plan to have as many of our own volunteers helping out during the work camp as well, so that you will be able to meet and socialize with locals.
💼 What the programme involves
Café Retro is in need of a make-over, and volunteers will help doing renovation work of different kinds. It is an advantage to have some experience with carpentry/woodwork even though some of the tasks will also be painting, decorating, etc.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Food is free during the work camp and it is expected that all volunteers will help out with cooking. Lodging will be provided, and will probably be on mattresses in our cozy café with access to showers. Bring sleeping bag. We have a washing machine and dryer where you can do laundry.
📍 About the location
Café Retro is located right in the heart of Copenhagen, so there are ample opportunities for finding things to do when not working - both day and night.
