Volunteer Tasks
Volunteers’ duties may include kitchen work (such as food preparation, baking and cleaning), general cleaning and housekeeping, gardening, repair and maintenance, equipment care, planting and harvesting vegetables, and function room setup. Recreational activities for volunteers to do in their spare time include swimming, fishing, kayaking, rock-climbing, tramping, staying in DOC huts, snorkeling, surfing and hiking
Volunteer Requirements
Volunteers will be living and working on the beautiful Great Barrier Island, 90km from Auckland in a small community. Connections are available daily, either by Flight (30min) or Ferry (5hrs).
The volunteers are asked to do physical work and will be trained to use some farm machinery. The work will involve occasional extra hours and some weekend work. Orama has a Christian heritage and focus that the volunteers should be willing to respect. The weather may vary from stunningly beautiful to inclement. You will need to be ready for remote, island-style living – a very different but incredible opportunity to experience!
Host Situation
Accommodation is on-site within a self-contained unit. Most meals are served with the project, however you will self-cater some days with ingredients supplied
