Volunteering

With the Teaching Drum being a dynamic and growing school-community, there is much to learn and experience by taking part in daily life and activities. Although volunteering may seem to some like a vacation, those who gain the most from their time here say they enjoy the opportunity to work to a different rhythm, among conscious individuals who are dedicated to healing. Volunteers work directly with staff and on solo projects, and participate fully in community life. Here are some common volunteer activities:

• Natural Habitat restoration
• Library cataloging
• Carpentry and electrical
• Bookstore and office assistance
• Children's activities
• Foraging (berry picking, wild rice harvesting, etc.)
• Vehicle repair
• Webpage design and maintenance
• Editing, artwork, graphic design
• Firewood cutting-splitting-stacking
• Various seasonal activities

Duration of stay: Typically one week to one month, with longer stays sometimes possible.

Cost: We ask for an $11 per day ($77 per week) contribution to cover food cost.
