Non-profit community sailing school on the tiny island of Ventotene, Italy

Details

  Description

  We are a beautiful de facto family: a group of young people between 20 and 25 years old who run a sailing school that has been active for over 20 years. Our organization has been a non-profit for 27 years, and we operate entirely alongside with our Workawayers.
  
  We're a close-knit, friendly, and energetic team. We love what we do, we enjoy having fun, and we deeply appreciate the nature of the island where we live and work. The social environment is always welcoming and lively — you're never just a guest, but part of the crew.
  
  The number of people here varies throughout the season: sometimes we’re just 2–3, other times we’re as many as 10.

  Help

  We are a sailing school on the tiny island of Ventotene, one of the smallest islands in Italy. During the off-season, we take care of the land and the vegetable garden, repair the boats, and prepare everything for the summer season. The work is very flexible and can vary a lot; from planting trees to fixing boats or even hanging out sheets when needed. Everyone helps out however they can.
  
  All the local staff, except for Rodolfo, are between 20 and 25 years old. We are a young, sociable group who love nature, enjoy working together, and know how to have fun. Most importantly, everyone here is a volunteer.
