Day Volunteer Vacancies

Not all of our volunteers are residential and there are a number of opportunities for local volunteers to make a valuable contribution at Camphill Duffcarrig. We welcome volunteers from a number of backgrounds and skill bases. We have a number of volunteering opportunities including landwork, maintenance, work in craft workshops, befriending, and helping to facilitate recreational activities. We are also happy to hear from people with specific skills such as tradespeople, artists, farmers and more.

We welcome volunteer commitments from an hour or two a week to one or two days, and up to five days a week.
