    Description

    Bio Construction Volunteer Coordinator

    Volunteer Opportunity: Natural Building Coordinator at Eco Caminhos — Brazil

    Are you looking for a purpose-driven adventure that blends learning, hands-on experience, and a commitment to a sustainable future? At Eco Caminhos, we're building more than just structures — we're constructing a community grounded in environmental regeneration and meaningful living. Join us in Nova Friburgo and be a cornerstone in our mission to create the Ecolibrium Center, which brings together a Permaculture School, Sustainable Restaurant, and Eco Accommodation.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Lead and Inspire: Coordinate a vibrant team of volunteers and students, sharing your passion for natural building and sustainable practices.
    • Teach and Learn: Guide immersive workshops on natural construction techniques like cob, wattle & daub, and more, all while gaining hands-on training in innovative building methods.
    • Organize Daily Tasks: Manage daily operations, ensuring that every task contributes to the collective journey towards regeneration.
    • Live the Community Lifestyle: Embrace living in a supportive, eco-conscious community committed to transformation and growth.

    Who We’re Looking For:

    • A deep passion for natural building and environmental stewardship.
    • Physical readiness for active, outdoor work 4 days a week.
    • Strong leadership qualities and a collaborative spirit.
    • Proficiency in English and Portuguese (or the enthusiasm to learn quickly).
    • A readiness to dive into challenges and live in a purpose-driven community.

    What we offer you:

    • Immersive Experience: Work side-by-side with experienced builders and changemakers while gaining practical skills in natural building and permaculture.
    • Transformative Training: Participate in enriching workshops on agroforestry and sustainability that will broaden your understanding and enhance your expertise.
    • The joy of living simply: Enjoy provided accommodation and healthy meals, making your transition into community life smooth and welcoming.
    • Growth Opportunities: Develop important leadership and teaching skills in an environment that values personal and collective evolution as much as practical results.

    If you're not searching merely for a job but a transformative journey that nurtures your spirit and skills, this opportunity is for you. Step into a role that challenges the ordinary and empowers you to grow alongside a community dedicated to regenerating our world.

    Would you like to explore more about the lifestyle, share your personal vision for sustainable living, or discuss further details about the role? Let's dive deeper into what transformation means for you in this role.

    The volunteer form is available on our website or you can just apply now.

    We are excited to welcome individuals who are not just looking to work, but who are ready to live, learn, and regenerate together.
