I understand that as a volunteer at Camphill Wakefield, I will be provided with my own room and board in a house where I will be living with other community members, including people with disabilities whom I will be expected to support.

I will not be paid for the work I do but will receive an allowance for reasonable expenses.

I understand that Camphill Wakefield does not pay the costs of my travel to the community.
