What we do

Our ecovillage is a non-profit housing development that brings together people with similar interests and ecological awareness to create a village in harmony with the surrounding nature. It is a community of people driven by the same ideology who come together according to the principle of equity among all, in an organized system of good neighbourliness.
Located in a mountain maple grove in the province of Quebec, Canada, the ecovillage includes 12 private residences and a common pavilion (to come). The land was purchased in 2011 and the 1 km road was fully completed in spring 2012. The construction of the first house began in 2013, and others followed in subsequent years. By the end of 2019, the construction of the 8th house will be almost completed.
There will soon be 14 permanent residents at the ecovillage and in addition, the group also includes four “active members” (non-owners) who assume responsibilities and take part in various activities, as well as four children.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
