Volunteer with us!

Welcome!

This page will guide those people of goodwill who want to come and volunteer with us!

Volunteering in Auroville is a great opportunity to learn, experiment and live a new way of life. Our project offers volunteering opportunities to both students and experts, curious and ambitious people. We are looking for both short-term and long-term help!

There is no minimum time commitment required, however there is a difference between participating as a guest or committing as an official volunteer.
To apply as a volunteer for any project in Auroville you will need to register with SAVl, the volunteer coordination unit. By contacting SAVl, at study@auroville.org.in , you can present yourself and name the area of work or the specific project you intend to volunteer with. ln our case you can request to volunteer for Av Urban Farming City Centre, and put as reference name Riccardo or Luigi.

The system in Auroville demands a minimum of 18 weekly hours of commitment from registered volunteers to any project, and our times are usually from 7.30 to 10.30 with some hours in the late afternoon. We are very flexible with timings for volunteers, but we do make sure that the minimum hours are met.

If you cannot commit as volunteer, you can still be involved as a guest for whatever time you wish.
You can either contact us at thejaof@gmail.com or ginoauroville@gmail.com; or through our contact form in the main page of our blog AvUrbanFarming.blogspot.in

Alternatively you can contact AurovilleGuestService.org and ask to work with us.

Finally, it is important to state that we cannot provide accomodation yet, and volunteers would have to find accomodation on their own.
For this we suggest looking on aurovilleguesthouses.org.

Blessings!


The Team
