About [Edit]
GrowFood.org is a website that lists thousands of opportunities to experience sustainability and cultural exchange. We gather a list of sustainable projects and organizations that seek workers, volunteers, students and partners. People interested in experiencing a sustainable lifestyle use our website to make contact with hosts they are interested in visiting. The hosts and volunteers work out the details of their own arrangements.
Who should be a host?
Anyone who can answer yes to these two questions:
1] Am I sustainable?
2] Could I use a hand every now and then?
What`s Involved?
There is no obligation to accept volunteers when you sign up to be a host. You just accept volunteers as you see fit. Generally you should be able to provide your volunteers with basic room and board. Please note that GrowFood.org is a matchmaking service and does not take responsibility for the actions or negligence of any participants in this program.
Why be a host?
To create an educational network of people working in the sustainability movement
To share knowledge and skills with other interested people
To get help with your work, whether it`s just around the home garden or designing a sustainable community.
To practice the skills needed to live with other people.
To gain a outside perspective from volunteers
To learn more about the benefits of being a host, ask around on our forum
Who should be a volunteer?
Anyone interested in learning about environmental sustainability can be a volunteer.
Why be a volunteer?
To learn about any aspect of the sustainable movement you desire.
To meet like-minded people
To share your knowledge and skills with others
To practice the skills needed to live with other people
To explore future work possibilities
To learn more about the benefits of being a volunteer ask around on our forum
How does it work?
GrowFood.org is a simple match making service. We provide a list of hosts and their contact info and volunteers make arrangements with the host. GrowFood.org does not place volunteers with hosts. Do not just show up at a host`s door; you must make contact first and discuss your arrangement prior to arriving. Hosts can reject any volunteers they chose and volunteers can leave at anytime.

WWOOF Around The World
Many countries have WWOOF programs. Here are some others:
Wwoof New Zealand/Aoteroa

Wwoof Italy
Wwoof U.K.
WHAT ARE "POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS"?
Positive environmental solutions are affirmative, rather than negative, responses to environmental problems. This first step to responding positively is to identify the problem and possible causes. The second is to create a measurable objective that focuses on the intended results rather than the methods. For example: Global warming is a problem and burning fossil fuels is a major cause. Our objective is to create a human settlement that relies on renewable and sustainable resources. Once the objective, or positive solution, is clear action can be taken to obtain that objective. How you obtain that objective is up to you but OrganicVolunteers.com is always here to help
