About the accomodation

Volunteers will stay together in a shared volunteer house located inside the CYA-Learning Center, creating a warm community atmosphere. There is no chef— volunteers will be divided into small cooking teams, taking turns to prepare meals, serve, clean, and wash dishes. It’s a fun way to share cultures, try new recipes, and enjoy meals together as part of the experience.
