Description
We are a foundation located in Nijmegen, close to the German-Dutch Border. We are a group of 12 friends (+ 1 baby) living together in this off-grid, alternative cultural community.
We build everything with our own hands: almost everything is DIY, made with up-cycling materials and prioritising low impact practices. We live in tiny houses, trailers and other movable (nomadic) houses.
The main focus of the work will be on maintaining and improving the terrain, gardens and facilities. We sometimes organize and host events, activities and workshops. We like to receive different volunteers with different back grounds and experiences.
An independent mindset and own initiative for projects, skill sharing and personal development is highly recommended for this position.
