The diversity of our volunteer areas offers an opportunity for everyone to make a positive impact and engage in a meaningful cultural exchange with our community. We offer two program types, Volunteer Guest and Volunteer Teacher. Find the area that resonates with you and join us in creating lasting change.
Volunteer Guest: This volunteer option is open to anyone who wishes to get involved in the Tao community and do hands-on work alongside students at our trade school and farm for a minimum one week. For an optimal experience we recommend staying 2-3 weeks. Knowing Spanish is helpful but not a requirement. Spanish classes are available as an add-on to your program.
Volunteer Teacher: A volunteer teacher should be an experienced, skilled professional capable of teaching in an area that matches current needs at Tao. These areas of instruction include: ESL, carpentry, food preparation, bio-intensive organic agriculture, clothing design, art (pottery, drawing, performance arts), yoga, emotional intelligence and mindfulness. It is desirable that volunteer teachers have conversational Spanish skills, but not always a requirement. People wishing to be volunteer teachers are chosen on a case-by-case basis depending upon need and on their prior experience. They are encouraged to come for at least two to four weeks.
