Join us for a week of work and community, transitioning our remote Village from one season to the next! Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned participant, Holden welcomes you to lend your time and talents.
Monday, Oct. 6 – Sunday, Oct. 12
Monday, Oct. 13 – Sunday, Oct. 18
We are not able to name your placements in advance or guarantee is specific placement. Pack your grubby work clothes, sturdy shoes, work gloves, and any favorite tool if you have a specialty. Thank you for being flexible.
Work weekers should plan to room with other people in one of our historic lodges.
Parking is available free of charge to all Work Week volunteers. The Fields Point Coordinator will have a list of names and will print you a parking pass at the concession stand when you arrive at Fields Point. You no longer need to specifically request a parking permit, and parking permits are not mailed out ahead of time.
All volunteers must have an up to date tetanus vaccination to come to Holden!
Work Weekers will not have wifi access. There is a computer available for public use in the library with the Internet. However, we ask that all members of the community keep in mind Holden’s remote location and commitment to renewal and enjoy this unique opportunity to unplug and unwind.
Holden Village is a community where your questions are valued and encouraged. Most programs led by visiting teaching faculty occur during the summer months. However, Holden also invites faculty to teach sessions for special events and retreats throughout the rest of the year.
