Resumo: "Sunnahof is an institution for people with light intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems from the age of 16 until retirement. Our core objective is to prepare this target group for the regular employment market. Therefore Sunnahof provides four biodynamic working areas with naturalistic working conditions.
Those working areas are:
- agriculture
- plant nursery
- carpentry
- gastronomy with a farm shop
Sunnahof is a limited liability company and to the association “Lebenshilfe Vorarlberg”, founded in 1967. Sunnahof is situated in Göfis, near Feldkirch.
Our general principle is “people need people” no matter if you have any disabilities or not. Our work focuses on the uniqueness of each human being and the belief that the society depends on each individual person and each individual person depends on the society.
All together we engage over 60 people with light intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems.
Furthermore, Sunnahof offers a housing service for 17 people with disabilities which include different possibilities of assistance.
Our staff are trained in the field of education and in the technical fields (carpentry, agriculture, gastronomy). This is a basic requirement for our concept. It enables us on the one hand to handle a farm with 60 hectares arable land, 60 cows, 30 goats, 30 pigs, 50 chickens, to produce a variety of wooden products, to receive about 5000 visitors per year in our gastronomy and to grow and sell 500 different species of pants. And on the other hand it qualifies us to accompany people with disabilities on their way to the regular employment market."

Perfil: "The volunteers should be open to work with people with light intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems. They have to be interested in working in the areas agriculture, carpentry, plant nursery or gastronomy and farm shop. If the volunteers have a driving licence it would make things easier but this is not necessary."

Tarefas: "What will be the role of EVS volunteers in the Host Organisation: The role of the EVS volunteers will be to work along with our employees and people with light intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems, mainly in one of our four working areas (agriculture, carpentry, plant nursery or
gastronomy + farm shop) or the housing facility. The volunteer will be encouraged and accompanied to support people to tackle a task for themselves, not to do things for them, in order for them to realize their potential and abilities. As a volunteer your work will be guided by our professional employees. Also you will get the free space to create and implement your own ideas. We are welcoming new and creative ideas, which we believe add new perspectives to our organisation. The activities in which the volunteers could be involved and the activities the volunteers could create in your organisation. Please give examples of typical activities/tasks for the volunteers: There are lots of different things to get involved with as a volunteer at Sunnahof. Every working area has its own charm, learning possibilities and challenges. Independent from the working area the volunteer will be involved in the work and attendance of people with light intellectual disabilities and behaviour
problems. That’s the core area of the learning. Here is a summary of possible tasks: Agriculture: The work is characterized by mainly outdoor jobs and substantial work. Examples are mucking out the barn, intersperse hay, feeding the animals, maintaining work, and processing hay. Plant nursery: Also the work in our nursery plant is branded with substantial work and outdoor jobs. Examples for possible tasks are repotting, weeding and plant reproduction. Carpentry: The carpentry requires accurate work and craftsmanship. Making wood boxes, drilling, sanding and mounting are main tasks in our daily affairs. Gastronomy and farm shop: Customer contact and friendliness are key qualifications for this working area. Tasks include washing the dishes, cleaning, accept and deal with
deliveries and so on. Housing facility: Supporting our residents with daily tasks, like doing one’s laundry, ironing, cooking, cleaning… Depending on the needed scale of assistance more or less support will be necessary."
