Throughout the ages, Aholansaari has been perceived as a place of such value that it has been cared for. Volunteers give their own contribution to Aholansaari. In return, they receive accommodation and food. Aholansaari offers a variety of volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Everyone works according to their talents and abilities, and there is plenty of work for all hands. All ages are welcome, from confessional students to older people.
Volunteering
Saaressa talkootöitä tehdään kiinteistöhuollossa, siivouksessa, pyykkituvassa, keittiössä ja toimistossa. Talkootyötä tehdään vapaaehtoisesti ilman rahallista korvausta. Talkoolainen saa kuitenkin majoituksen ja ateriat talkoopäivinä.
Talkoisiin tuleva saa työhön tarvitsemansa opastuksen. Koko Aholansaaren henkilökunta toimii talkoolaisten tukena ja tekee työtä talkoolaisten rinnalla.
Accommodation
Volunteers will be accommodated in available rooms. Please note that in high season, volunteers may have to share a room with others. Accommodation is with your own linen. If you need linen, you can get it for €5 per volunteer. Volunteers are expected to clean their room when they leave.
Working time
The work usually starts after breakfast and ends with dinner. By agreement, the work may include, for example, heating the sauna in the evening.
Meals
Talkoolaisen ylläpitoon kuuluvat ateriat aamupalasta iltapalaan. Mikäli Saaressa ei ole muita ruokailevia ryhmiä, saavat talkoolaiset tarvittaessa ruokatarpeet majoitustilaan.
Ilmoita erityisruokavaliosta etukäteen toimistoon.
Free time
Vapaa-aikanasi olet tervetullut osallistumaan kaikkiin Saaren ohjelmiin. Kesäaikaan voit osallistua Ahis-rippileirin veisuisiin iltaisin Paavon pirtissä. Muuhun ohjelmaan voit tutustua päärakennuksen tuloaulan ilmoitustaululta.
Saunas
You have the possibility to take a sauna in the common sauna on the beach or in the sauna in the accommodation. Ask at reception for sauna bookings. You can also heat the sauna yourself if there are no reservations.
Insurance
The island's volunteers are insured against accidents. But as the sums insured are quite small, it is recommended that volunteers also take out their own accident insurance.
Home
Departure and possible transport to Nilsi must be arranged with the office at the latest the day before. We will only transport volunteers to Nilsi, from there everyone will arrange their own onward connections.
