Camphill Village Minnesota (CVM) is a life-sharing, residential community of fifty people, including adults with disabilities. Our
lives, work and celebrations are woven into the rhythms of nature found in the rolling hills, sparkling waterways, and prairie
grasslands of Central Minnesota. Our community is deeply rooted in the belief that every individual, regardless of limitations, is
an independent, spiritual being. Each person is part of the fabric of Community experience and is worthy of recognition, respect
and honor. Website: http://www.camphillmn.org
WORK: Volunteers will assist in a variety of tasks including but not limited to: Assisting adults with developmental disabilities in
their daily living activities in the home and managing crews in workplaces such as gardening, farming, cooking, food preserving,
