Volunteer in an Ecovillage, Region, or with the international Network

There are three ways to volunteer with GEN:

With the GEN team on a global level in a remote role
With one of the GEN Regions
In an Ecovillage

Read the information provided below in order to decide which option is best for you, and fill out the form below to share your interest and availability with GEN!

Volunteering with the international GEN team

In the GEN office in Findhorn, Scotland, we have a small team who work to support the wider GEN networks. Our work consists mostly of network support and project development and so we spend most of our time in the virtual/online space. Because of this we are often looking for *remotely-based* volunteers that have skills or budding interest in areas such as operations, IT, communications, design, translation, research, logistics, and assistance with the running of projects, workshops, and conferences.

If you’re interested in supporting us remotely, please complete the form below. Due to capacity, we can’t guarantee to reply to everyone but we review the form often when new projects and tasks arise. We’ll get in touch when a something appears that suits your interests. Alternatively, if we have any open volunteering opportunities, they will be included in our newsletter.

GEN also offers internships in our office, although this requires a longer-term commitment of minimum 6 months and at this time, GEN does not have the budget to financially support interns. Because of this, most of our interns come through the European Voluntary Service programme. We generally accept 2 interns at a time although this may increase in time. Keep an eye on our Facebook page or subscribe to our newsletter for EVS opportunities.

Volunteering in Regions

If you are looking to volunteer in your local or another GEN Region, we invite you to contact them directly.

Volunteering in an Ecovillage

If you are looking to volunteer in a community, you may find our Ecovillage Project directory useful for exploring and connecting with the diverse communities around the world. Again, you are invited to reach out directly to projects you resonate with to introduce yourself and find out what opportunities they may have. GEN International does not coordinate volunteer placement in our 6,000+ community members.
