Gomde UK

During COVID restrictions we are not currently accepting applicants for these posts but please contact us NOW if you have an interest in joining us in the coming months.
Taking a key role in Gomde in our new pioneering phase, we require good all rounders to help in all areas, especially those that suit your skill set and interests. We anticipate resident volunteers will have an inclination to help grow and sustain the resident community and be willing to offer a longer commitment of 3 months plus.

Having the opportunity and circumstances to ‘take time out’ and physically be at Gomde is rare. But all is not lost as it is possible to volunteer from a distance.
We currently have a number of people who offer both major and ad hoc support to Gomde at a distance. If you have a skill that you would like to share and develop we would be delighted to hear from you.

Currently we have help with media and marketing, accountancy and bookkeeping, visa team, transcribing teachings, fundraising and procurement for the shop. There are lots of way to help please get in touch so we can work out together what your contribution could be.

Join our trusty and friendly band of local volunteers. Apply now to be ready for when we open!
