Description
ABOUT ME
I’m Eva. I am a writer, teacher, health educator, media maker, and wellness coach working in secondary schools and community.
I live in a two-story home that I’ve gradually transformed into a co-living, co-creating space for volunteers who want to contribute to my community and non-profit work in wellness education, design thinking and systems change!
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This is a non-profit initiative focused on creating free well-being resources for schools - illustrated cards books and posters . I work with schools as a teacher to support teen and teacher wellbeing, and to promote peer coaching and positive change in education. The resources we develop are to be distributed at conferences, networks, and partner schools to help educators build healthy learning environments.
WHAT VOLUNTEERS DO
Volunteers can help with:
Creating innovative non-commercial resources for schools
Organising me! And the home 🙏🏼
Assisting with garden and home maintenance
Helping my 89-year-old mum as she writes her autobiography
Helping me support my daughters with young babies and children with baby sitting
Preparing and sharing meals … and rescuing food!
Note: We do not ask volunteers to assist with any business activity, paying customers, or commercial services.
SKILLS WELCOME

Babysitting - working with children check would be an asset

THE HOME
We’re a wellness-focused, music-loving, open-hearted community here that values kindness, contribution. creativity, and respect. I am gluten free and we dumpster dive regularly ,and involved in a weekly food rescue initiative for produce like fruit, vegetables, and sourdough.
