Please come to the Coworking Lounge after drop-off with signed Community Contracts. We will discuss general expectations for the program, service projects, activity sign-up, laundry and groceries, and answer questions.
The Coworking Lounge is on the top floor of the main building at the Fontana Resort. It is the room to your left if you are facing the sea.

Service Projects
Parents are invited to deepen their experience on Hvar by taking on service projects. This is completely voluntary. Sign-ups will take place during the Parent Pow-Wow on Monday, September 8th (or virtually for families who need to arrive on Hvar later). If you do take on a service project, expect to commit about 4 hours per week to it. The volunteer host will provide transportation and training.
Field Work
Olive harvest, clearing brush, and other fall agricultural activities with a local farmer. Expect moderate physical activity, including bending, lifting, and tool use, as well as the risk of bee stings. Gardening or farming experience is a plus.
English Language Workshop for Local Children
Lead a light-hearted workshop at Jelsa’s public library each Saturday from 10-11:30am, helping local children learn English. A workshop might include a story, song, and craft, united by a common theme like weather, introductions, or colors. Professional teaching experience is a plus.
Teacher’s Assistant
Help Guides as a substitute, chaperone for field trips or camping, and extra set of hands for activities such as crafts and plays. There are 6 of these positions available, one for each age group: Early Years, Lower Kinder, Upper Kinder, Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary, and Middle. Professional childcare or teaching experience is a plus.
Boatmaking Assistant
Help our learners build real wooden boats from kits with pre-cut boards. Carpentry experience is a plus.
Fall Excursion Planner
Plan an optional weekend get-away for Field families to Bosnia or another favorite location.
Recycling Leader
Help Field families reduce our environmental impact and enable fun craft projects by setting up a station for sorting reusable waste in the Coworking Lounge.
Study Hall
The Learning Center is typically only open during program hours: 10-17h. Support collaborative project work, homeschoolers, reader rabbits, and crafty friends by supervising Study Hall hours on weekday evenings. Hours should be consistent, but are up to you.
Other
Coach a sport. Facilitate a skill-share. Lead a meditation hour or poetry seminar. Brainstorm what you’d like to bring to the community, and we’ll develop a plan once you’re on the island.
