AmeriCorps members and volunteers from around the world can take part in a year or more of intensive service in this unique community environment. As an AmeriCorps member, you would support people with disabilities in a variety of ways in the household, and would be a supporter for several different activities on campus.
This is a great hands-on opportunity in the field of social work, education, and psychology/counseling, and, together with the AmeriCorps Education Award of $5,645.00 after 11 months of service, can be a great way to begin paying back student loans!

Your service at Camphill Soltane will not only benefit the people you are serving, but will take you on a journey of transformation, where the intensity of the service work leads to significant personal development.

Camphill Soltane was founded in 1988 on a 50-acre campus about an hour west of Philadelphia. Camphill Soltane is one of more than 100 communities in the international Camphill Movement, which began in Europe in 1939 as a humanitarian response to the social and moral conditions of the time.
