Resumo: Our approximately 100 students and future farmers are instructed in domestic animal care, cultivation of plants, technical skills, social studies, economics, production and management.

The school is placed in a very beautiful Danish countryside near water, forest and cultivated fields. Personally and collectively we highly value ecology, community, development, credibility and quality in everything we do.

The students can choose to live at the school. This creates the best possible way of forming a close relationship with each other as well as with the staff. The atmosphere at the school is very informal and the placement will be great for a volunteer who is not afraid of getting his or her hands dirty from digging up vegetables or helping out taking care of the animals in the stables.

At Kalø we have an international program. Classes of this program consists of 70% Danish and 30% foreign students from EU countries. The foreign students live at the school together with the Danish students, creating an international environment. The staff consists of: Agronomist, agricultural technologist, kitchen staff, farmer, IT, leadership, consultant, craftsman etc. In total we are about 25 people working at the organization. Our staff is used to dealing with intercultural as well as interlinguistic differences appearing among the young people.

Perfil: Age: 18-30
The recruitment process is open to everyone. However, we especially welcome volunteers with a keen interest in agriculture, organic farming, and sustainability. We value individuals who are eager to get involved, unafraid to get their hands dirty digging up vegetables, or assisting with animal care in the stables. A curious mindset and a willingness to learn and engage with the school community is highly appreciated.

Tarefas: At the organization, volunteers will participate in a year-round program tailored to the agricultural season. Activities include working with livestock (pigs, sheep, hens, cows), cultivating plants, performing fieldwork, managing agricultural machinery, and preparing vegetables for the farm shop. Volunteers will gain hands-on experience in establishing, maintaining, and harvesting crops, as well as caring for animals, processing, and selling meat. The school integrates its own crops and meat into the organic meals served in the kitchen. Volunteers will also contribute to preparing produce for the farm shop, which offers a wide variety of fresh, seasonal vegetables.

This opportunity allows volunteers to learn about domestic animal care, the annual cycles of plants and animals, greenhouse and outdoor farming, and organic and sustainable cultivation methods. As the nature of farming sometimes requires work outside regular hours, volunteers should be prepared for occasional tasks at unconventional times, with compensatory time off provided.

Volunteers will live at the school alongside students and are encouraged to become active members of the vibrant social community. The school offers a variety of student-driven activities and facilities, including a choir, fitness room, table tennis, pool, and football. Surrounded by beautiful nature, volunteers can enjoy activities like ocean swimming (though it might be chilly), walking or biking in the nearby forest.

Horário: Working hours: 30-38 hours/week

All volunteers save up to 2 holidays every month.

Condições: The volunteer will live and eat at the school together with the students and will be expected to integrate him or herself into the social life as well as the responsibilities at the organization. The school has a large selection of student-driven social activities and facilities such as choir, fitness room, table tennis, pool, football etc. The surrounding nature obviously gives you the possibilities of bathing in the ocean (it might be cold, though), walking or biking in the forest. In town, you can also find plenty of opportunities for spare-time activities.
