Join Glenora Farm as a Coworker

Glenora Farm welcomes applications for Short Term Coworker positions, these positions are generally awarded as year-long placement. Other placement lengths can be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Short Term Coworkers gain tangible experience and receive meaningful hands-on training in the social service sector. They receive room and board, as well as a monthly stipend. Short Term Coworkers share the work of the farm and live together in households with other Short Term Coworkers, House Coordinators, and Companions.

Short Term Coworkers come in all shapes and sizes: singles, couples, young folks, and young-at-heart folks.

Our residential care homes are set up in the style of an extended family, consisting of 2 House Coordinators, 2 Short Term Coworkers, Companions and (in some cases) children all sharing life together within the home. All members of the household participate in typical household responsibilities, go on fun outings, celebrate special events, work together to navigate conflicts, and share three meals a day around our big farm-style tables. 

Some of the program activities assumed by Short Term Coworkers include:

• Providing support in one of the residential care homes
• Helping on the farm and around the estate
• Helping in our three-acre organic vegetable garden
• Helping in our herb garden
• Providing support to Companions in one or more of our program activities (weaving, candle dipping, music, arts, cooking, and games)
