We have recently acquired a house called CASA JAZMIN that acts as a permanent volunteer center in the Valencian Community, 100 km from Valencia and Alicante, where volunteers stay in our projects throughout the year.
Agricologia https://ecoescoles.info/ is a local development entity originally formed by an agricultural company that produces and distributes organic horticultural products along with a non-profit association that promotes the development of environmental and agricultural education activities for children.
Our project is based on education through organic agriculture, sustainable food, and the environment. In order to promote a change of thought, values, and attitudes that drives the educational community towards a model of sustainable development. You can visit

İş Tanımı
The volunteers will primarily undertake agricultural work, although there may be some opportunities to assist the local community (Ayuntamiento) plus some beekeeping work, when needed. Additionally, there will be occasional educational activities with children or visits to senior centers or other social events to support the community organizations in the area, to complete 6-7 working hours a day. 2 days per week will be free.
Konaklama ve Yemek
The volunteers will stay in a volunteer house, Casa Jazmin, with three rooms with several bunkbeds and bathrooms. They will share rooms with four to six other volunteers. The house includes a nice kitchen in which the volunteers will cook for themselves in the guidance of the camp leaders.
You can either bring your own sheets or a sleeping bag. There are beds and pillows but no sheets or pillow covers.
La Casa Jazmín is recently renovated but there are always some pending tasks to complete because it is a house made for volunteers. Volunteers can carry out some basic tasks like painting, throwing out extra materials and organising spaces.
Konum ve Serbest Zaman
Sanet is a small town in the southwest of Spain close to Dénia (communidad de Valencia). It lays in the beautiful countryside, surrounded by hills which are great for hiking - there are a lot of hiking trails to discover. The house is located right in the middle of town, so there are great opportunities to interact and socialize with the locals and to truly experience the Spanish countryside.
Furthermore, the volunteers can make excursions with puiblic transport to Valencia or Alicante or surrounding villages like Denia, Altea or Calpe
