Our Volunteers

Orama is a ‘global village’ with both kiwi and international volunteers learning, laughing, sharing and working side by side in daily life.​

We offer a unique opportunity to live and work in a faith community in one of the most stunning natural locations in the world.

We offer short-term* volunteer placements from 1 week to 3 months and from time to time long-term up to 12 months (subject to Board approval and only after initially volunteering for 3 months).

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

• Wholesome work in exchange for food and accommodation

• 1 to 12 weeks of work exchange with pre-determined arrival and departure dates

• 5 days of scheduled work per week with 2 days off (where possible the days off are consecutive)

• 6 hours of work per day

• A working agreement that is settled following a mutual trial period to allow the opportunity for us to get to know each other to decide if the arrangement is suitable

Some volunteers in some cases have eventually joined our staff.
