Coworker in an intentional community for adults with developmental disabilities
Coworkers receive room and board and a small stipend (you won’t get rich but nor should you be out of pocket). Student loan payments are possible for those who commit for a year.
Camphill Village Kimberton Hills is a residential intentional community that includes adults with and without developmental disabilities. We live on 400+ acres of land near Phoenixville, PA, and focus on growing vegetables, dairy farming, and crafts. We number about 100 people living in houses ranging from 2 people to 13 – a practice known as life-sharing. As far as possible, we make decisions together and by consensus. Initially, people usually join us for a year – sometimes a gap year between college and the conventional work force. Some decide to stay on as long-term coworkers beyond that year. Shorter stays of a few months are also possible. This is a full-time living and working situation.
What we offer: an international community, work that matters, opportunities for involvement in decision-making, a warm social life, a sense of purpose, connection, and fulfillment.
