Construction Volunteer on a Coffee Farm
by Avalon Farm
Program Overview
Imagine staying on a coffee farm, surrounded by amazing views and wonderful people. Expect just that (and more!) by volunteering at Avalon Farm on a program that combines community service, adventure, and educational tourism. This is an ideal opportunity for retirees seeking new experiences in a tranquil setting.
We are looking for North American retiree volunteers with experience in bricklaying, isolation, drywall and taping, carpentry, and hardwood floors. You should be willing to impart your knowledge to local young construction workers as you will oversee the construction and renovation of existing buildings inside our farm.
Spend 3 months to one year on Avalon Farm, a 250-acre organic coffee plantation in Carmo de Minas, a municipality in the southern state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Program fee: US$ 600 for 4 weeks
