The transitory nature of volunteers makes it exceedingly difficult for us to know when we will have availability. Things tend to change unexpectedly so feel free to check with us anytime. A lot of our volunteers come from last minute requests so don't hesitate to ask. We cannot confirm requests more than a week or 2 in advance as people's plans often change when traveling.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Depending on the country a volunteer comes from, they can benefit from language practice, new culinary experiences, and appreciating the different perspectives of similar subjects. Everyone learns something different with us depending on what it is that interests them. We do many things here. From chocolate, jewelry, cooking and making things, to gardening, philosophy, recycling, social responsibility and gender equity. The more a person puts into their time with us, the more they get out of it.
Ayuda
We are offering positions for enthusiastic persons to help us with our new project. Minimum time commitments of 3 to 16 weeks are preferred unless otherwise indicated. We have an exceptional project and like to work with exceptional people. If you are mature, self reliant, result oriented, and want to help move our projects forward, we welcome you to let us know. Volunteers looking for a convenient cheap way to travel and go out at night and party, or need to drink every day, should not request a position with us as we are not a good fit. There are often volunteer opportunities at the many hostels in our area that will be much better suited to their needs.
IMPORTANT! Food shopping and cooking is shared by the volunteer/volunteers in a vegetarian, gluten free kitchen. We pay food costs but do not shop, cook for you, or clean up after you. We are not a hostel and prefer to host volunteers that want to be part of our team in both food preparation and living situation. PLEASE LET US KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THIS WHEN APPLYING FOR A POSITION WITH US.

Bob genuinely cares about providing a beneficial experience for all who come into his house, and treats his workawayers as family. Be prepared to learn a lot while here, about chocolate, cooking, and life.
