Volunteering
Here, under open skies, everyone belongs!
From worldschooling families to island youth, travelers and neurodiverse souls. Together, we live simply, learn deeply, and care for the Earth that carries us.
Your Volunteering Journey
Every season, we welcome volunteers from all walks of life to share, learn, and co-create with us on our island home.
Here, volunteering is not a task list, it’s a journey of connection: with nature, with others, and with yourself.
You’ll join a living community that breathes sustainability in daily life, from tending gardens and cooking local meals to supporting workshops and welcoming visitors.
Each day is a blend of hands-on action and heartful exchange, shaped by the rhythm of the land and the needs of the moment.
We host both European Solidarity Corps projects and independent volunteering stays, open to all who wish to experience regenerative living, intercultural learning, and the beauty of collective care.
Living, Learning, Sharing
Life here flows simply. Volunteers live close to nature, in tents, caravans, or, soon, small rooms, surrounded by the forest, the sea breeze, and a community of kindred spirits.
Every morning begins with a community meeting, where we align on the day’s tasks, share ideas, and check in with one another.
Meals are cooked and enjoyed all together, turning food into a moment of connection and gratitude.
Learning happens everywhere, in the garden, the kitchen, a construction site, on the trampoline or during board games and creative circles that spark laughter and reflection.
Local children and worldschooling families often join our activities, making the place a living classroom for all generations.
We practice sustainability, inclusiveness, and collaboration, caring for the Earth while caring for each other.
You can expect moments of joy and challenge, solitude and togetherness, laughter and learning.
What matters most is the spirit you bring: curiosity, openness, and the willingness to live with intention.
As we receive a lot of requests but some people don’t take the time to read our info, please mention a pink unicorn if you read those words.
What You’ll Do
Volunteers at Joyce ’n’ Fun take part in many different tasks that keep our community alive and growing. Depending on your interests and the season, you might:
Garden and harvest : prune and care for our 50+ olive and fruit trees, gather olives, start new vegetable beds, or continue what previous volunteers began if they haven’t been attacked by goats in the meantime.
Build and repair : help with natural building projects, improve existing structures, or create something new that adds to the comfort and beauty of the place.
Create and express : paint caravans, craft decorations, play music, or bring any artistic idea you’d like to share.
Spend time with children : chat about Minecraft, organize treasure hunts in the woods, craft together, or play by the sea.
Share daily life : everyone helps with cooking, cleaning, and dishes. We follow a weekly board so tasks are shared fairly.
Document and communicate : take photos or videos of daily life, help edit content, or contribute to our social media presence to share the spirit of the Kingdom with the world.
Depending on the weather, there are times when you will want to stay indoors, playing board games or watching a movie in one of the caravans, but most days are spent outside: hiking, swimming, exploring, or simply enjoying nature together.
We build, we learn, we share.
