We are particularly looking for volunteers to help us with construction, gardening, carpentry as we continue to build the community.
At the begining, we accept volunteers for one or two week maximum, with a modest donation for your stay with us to cover food, transport and accommodation.
Longer Term Volunteering may be available on request after the first two weeks have been completed, depending on your experience and fit with the team.
What you will do
There´s always lots to do at Casita Verde including the improvement of the facilities or maintenance of existing installations. Although every volunteer may have their own speciality, living in Casita Verde means you’re living in the ecological center, so we ask you to help with the daily activities in the centre where needed, including household tasks.
As a volunteer we ask for a minimum commitment of 5 hours work per day. In addition we have a special fundraising event every wednesday and cleaning of the road some saturday.

" It's really weird to be back to my daily life. I miss the landscape, the view, the silence, the nature there in Casita Verde. Besides the food and people, the way of life! It's amazing. You have a wonderful home and I'm so grateful that I could help you improve it! "

Here a little resume of important points that you have to know, please read our entire guidelines and the frequent questions before coming to Casita Verde Granada
Day of arrival
Casita Verde is located approx. 40km south of the city of Granada, so to avoid unnecessary road journeys we pick up and drop off volunteers from our linked hostel in Granada - El Granado - each Wednesday. As a new volunteer you need to be at the hostel by 8.00pm and can participate in our evening fundraising event before we head back to Casita Verde. If you plan to arrive in the city earlier in the week and need accommodation, the hostel is comfortable and reasonably priced : https://elgranado.com.
Food
As with all Casita Verde properties we eat vegetarian meals (mainly plant-based diet). Please tell us about any food allergies, intolerances or specific diet you have before you arrive. If you want to bring your own food, please think that we are living in a protected natural park and that everything you bring we'll stay on our land when each of your visit to the eco-toilet… Please bring ecological products that respect environment and don't bring meat or fish products.
Ecological products
In the centre, we all use eco-friendly products such as toothpaste, shower gels, shampoo, soaps, solar cream etc. We like to stay free from harmful agents as far as possible, so that the recycling of water does not lead to soil
contamination. Please bring ecological products.
Animals
We love animals, but prefer the volunteer residents do not bring pets as a general rule. However, possible exceptions should be discussed with the centre manager before arriving. At the center, we have two lovely and friendly dogs, Théo (Pyrénées' dog) and Silverio (a greyhound). You are gonna love them !
