Eco-village and organic farm volunteering
Eco-volontaire lists carefully selected volunteer projects at eco-villages, organic farms and eco-centres, run by local associations, families or specialised volunteering agencies that we have vetted for their ethics and their commitment to sustainable living.
What you can do:
– Live at Sólheimar, Iceland’s oldest eco-village, or learn sustainable living through an immersive course at an eco-centre in the Cévennes, France.
– Work on organic farms in Costa Rica, Ecuador and Kenya, and practise permaculture on a farm in the Galapagos that helps protect endemic species.
– Learn regenerative agriculture with a village community near Drake Bay, Costa Rica.
– Support the Recycling Village in North Sumatra, one of the largest villages built from recycled materials.
– Care for animals and help maintain an organic park in Portugal.
Who it’s for: most projects are open to volunteers aged 18 and over. No previous farming experience is needed.
Languages: English on most projects, plus the local language and, for some projects, French.
How it works: contact the partner organisation directly through Eco-volontaire, free of charge. You book with them at their own price: using Eco-volontaire adds nothing to what you pay.
