Volunteer at Camphill Village
In Camphill Village all co-workers (the term we use for staff) 
are volunteers. Approximately 90 long- and short-term co-workers choose to live and work in the Village, and share responsibility for villagers’ well-being, home making, workshop training, caring for the land, administration and finance, and the cultural and spiritual life of the community.
Co-workers work out of a personal commitment to the mission and ideals of Camphill. They receive no salary in the usual sense; rather, they establish a budget that meets everyone’s basic needs, including further education and training, vacations and medical insurance.
The foremost prerequisites for any co-worker are interest, enthusiasm and willingness to participate fully in the daily social, work and cultural life of the community.

Working in Camphill is not a job, but a freely chosen way of life. This allows for continuity of care, and creates greater mutuality between villagers and co-workers than is usually possible where there is paid staff on shifts. Rather than “taking care of” people, co-workers and villagers live and work as colleagues in building community together.
Volunteerism is working for love, the only true basis for building a healthy society. Camphill Village was founded by volunteers. Villagers are our most important volunteers. The Village continues to flourish because of volunteers.
