Work Trade
Interested in learning more about
primitive living or seeking to solidify your skills? Want to
learn more about what goes on behind the scenes at our
courses? Would you enjoy the chance to experience almost every
regular enrollment course we offer? Each year we look for one
motivated individual interested in a work trade position here
at Earthwalk Northwest. We want to open up our courses to
people who might not otherwise be able to attend because of
limited finances. We've found that the program is a fantastic
chance for participants to learn comprehensive skills in
exchange for some much needed work on site at Earthwalk
Northwest.
Participants will have the option of
taking any or all of the following open enrollment courses
from March 15th and August 31st, 2007:
(Although room and board are not
provided as part of the work trade, all meals and
accommodations that are regularly included at a course will be
provided).
In exchange for a season of programs we
are seeking 15 hours per week of work. Most activities will be
grounds work including planting and tending the vegetable
garden, raking, pruning, and mowing, as well as preparing
course materials for programs. We require that a portion of
the work trade hours go towards organizing and packing program
supplies prior to overnight courses and unpacking and
reshelving them immediately upon returning from the course.
This usually takes a few hours total per course, and is an
essential part of the exchange.
We are looking for an individual who is
self-motivated, has a good work ethic, and is passionate about
learning primitive living skills. Applicants must be
physically fit enough to perform the required work, and must
have their own transportation. Any special talents or
experiences a person possesses will also be considered.
If you would like to apply for a work
trade position, please submit an
application along with a resume and letter describing your
interest in the position and what you hope to get out of your
experience. Please apply by Feb 15, 2007; decisions will be
made by March 15, 2007.
If you have additional questions, please
contact us.
