We offer a family environment with a small group of friendly adults, plus babies, chickens, sheep, and beautiful large gardens.
Work Program: Work exchangers will be given tasks related to sustainable food/fiber production (tropical fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, greenhouses, animal systems, coconut tree climbing and harvesting, bamboo and other timber crops, natural building structures, food preparation, and possibly additional projects such as landscape design, solar energy projects, and others.) Work exchangers/interns are required to work a minimum of 14 hours per week. Work exchangers/interns will also assist with two meals a week, a weekly cleaning party and attend our weekly meetings if possible. While we encourage work exchangers to plug in more than that and to create projects beyond their 14 hour commitment, we realize that some may need to work additional hours to pay their expenses at La'akea and that free time and solitude are valuable uses of personal time.
Community Education Program: Work Exchangers are encouraged to participate in community events and activities such as: community meetings (2 per week), Forum, Non-Violent communication, re-evaluation counseling, yoga, massage, educational and artistic presentations. Our belief at La'akea is that sustainability means much more than just permaculture techniques and material self-sufficiency. We focus on personal and emotional growth through community support as an integral part of sustainability.
Cost: The cost is calculated to account for food, energy and other consumable items such as soap, shampoo, etc. The current fee amount is $12/day. Site: La'akea is a 23+ acre property at 1300 foot elevation, on the lush east side of the Big Island of Hawaii. We are located 4 miles from the town of Pahoa and about 6 miles from the ocean.
