Thank you for your interest in applying for the residential volunteer position with Innisfree Village. Innisfree is dedicated to providing a lifesharing home and work environment in an atmosphere of beauty, warmth, and respectfulness. All community members are valued, and all are encouraged to explore and contribute to a meaningful and challenging life.
We are searching for people who would like to join our lifesharing community to serve as residential volunteers. Residential volunteers commit a year to live in community with and work alongside adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, whom we call coworkers. A volunteer lives in a family-style home with a small group of coworkers and one or more co-volunteers. Volunteers collaborate to divide household responsibilities, assisting coworkers in activities of daily living, including personal care, household chores, and leisure activities. They participate with coworkers in our therapeutic workstations as well as in other community activities on our 550-acre farm and in nearby Crozet and Charlottesville, VA.
Before beginning your application, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the volunteer information packet that was emailed to you along with the information on our website.
