About the project
Volunteer in Vorarlberg - Sunnahof Lebenshilfe Vorarlberg GmbH
📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteer will work along with our employees and people with light intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems, mainly in one of our four working areas (agriculture, carpentry, plant nursery or gastronomy with a farm shop). He/She will be encouraged and accompanied to support people to tackle a task for themselves, not to do things for them, in order for them to realize their potential and abilities. The volunteer's work will be guided by our professional employees. Also the volunteer will get the free space to create and implement own ideas. In terms of Service and learning opportunities, the volunteer will have a varied role and therefore gain invaluable experience and skills for working with people with light intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems. On that course they will learn a lot about their ways of living as well as, disability issues and issues facing the local community.

The volunteer will live in an accommodation next to the HO with the other volunteers. S/He will have a room on her/his own and share a bathroom and kitchen with others. During the week he/she will get her lunch in the HO. In the morning, evening and at weekend the volunteer has to cook by herself/himself. For this the volunteer will get some extra food money.
