Description
🌍 CARINTHIA 🇦🇹 – starting now, for 2 weeks up to 2 months
We are looking for volunteers to support our community living project at the beautiful Lake Faak, located at the crossroads of Austria, Italy, and Slovenia.
Our project “Live Together” is a place of encounter: here, people with and without migration or refugee experience share everyday life. Currently, we also serve as a refugee accommodation for families from Ukraine. At the moment, we are especially looking for helping hands – maybe yours? 💛
👉 Your possible tasks:
● Supporting in the large community kitchen 🍲
● Household help and cleaning 🧹
● Childcare 👧🧒
● Various everyday activities where flexibility is appreciated 🛠️
✨ What matters to us:
☆ Flexibility and a practical mindset
☆ Joy in teamwork and community life
☆ A genuine passion for sustainability 🌱
👨👩👧 Families with children are also warmly welcome! 💛
🌿 Sustainability is at the heart of our community:
We rescue and reuse food to reduce waste
We share resources and use secondhand items whenever possible
We live simply, by the motto “less is more” – far from consumerism and the throwaway society
🚫 Important to know:
Our community is a safe and conscious space. For this reason, we do not allow alcohol or mind-altering substances on the premises.
🏡 Your accommodation:
Volunteers stay in a separate volunteer area with several rooms, a shared kitchen, bathrooms, and toilets. This gives you both privacy and a chance to connect with the other volunteers.
🚆 Getting here:
We are easily reachable by public transport. The nearest train station is close by, making it convenient to arrive without a car.
If you resonate with these values and would like to experience life in our community, we would be delighted to hear from you. Come join us at Lake Faak – we’re excited to meet you! 💛
