Volunteer
Volunteer learning program
Volunteering at Finca Sol y Valle is a unique opportunity for those interested in learning sustainable living practices in response to the urgent need for global change. We welcome individuals, couples, and families passionate about community life and hands-on work to join our small farm. Living in a community involves developing essential soft skills such as tolerance, preparing meals in groups, mutual care, cleaning common spaces, non-violent communication, teamwork, and more. We understand that many have not been educated for community living, but we believe that every relationship on the farm is crucial for maintaining harmony.
