Vanhamäki centre is situated in Suonenjoki, which is a small rural town with some 6 900 inhabitants. Vanhamäki has countryside surroundings with lakes, fields, and forests around.
The tasks of the volunteers vary according to the season: from spring to autumn time the volunteers’ work is focused mostly on organic farming, working outdoors planting, and harvesting the crops. The volunteers assist in different kinds of tasks, both outdoors and indoors, such as making organic products, social media tasks, and maintenance work of the park area. Volunteers can also assist, according to their skills, in planning and carrying out events at Vanhamäki. The volunteers can also carry out tasks in the office and kitchen of Vanhamäki as well as help or assist in the making and arranging of the activities and work for people who have fallen out of the job market.

You don't need any previous experience or training in order to become a volunteer and carry on your activities. Just be curious, open-minded and highly motivated!
Food and accommodation
You will get free accommodation for the whole duration of your voluntary service.
The volunteers will be accommodated at the Vanhamäki centre in single rooms with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities. What comes to daily meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), the volunteers partly eat at the restaurant of Vanhamäki and partly cook meals themselves out of ingredients provided by Vanhamäki. The volunteers live at Vanhamäki, so they don’t need to commute daily to work. Suonenjoki town centre is about 3km’s distance from Vanhamäki. The volunteers will have the possibility to use bicycles to move easily to the centre of the town.
The volunteer will receive a monthly amount of money to sustain food expenses.
