MY PATH TO VOLUNTEERING
Hi, I’m Jason!
" A different
kind of education"
I'm from Germany and I'm looking for hands-on volunteer opportunities
where I can work outdoors, learn new skills, contribute to a team,
and gain practical experience.
Bilingual in German and English - fluent in both languages
What I Can Bring to Your Team
PRACTICAL SKILLS. A POSITIVE ATTITUDE. A WILLINGNESS TO LEARN.
Outdoor Experience
Hiking, canoeing, camping, forest nights, cooking over a fire and basic bushcraft skills.
Wilderness Guide Training
Route planning, climbing, first aid, canoeing, survival techniques and living outdoors with minimal equipment. Course will be completed by June 2027
Cooking
I currently help prepare meals for around 50-60 people together with our head chef. I enjoy cooking indoors and outdoors.
Sailing
Basic sailing course at Steinhuder Meer and additional experience on the Mediterranean and a Viking ship in Denmark. I'd love to develop my skills further.
Animals
I enjoy being around animals and have gained experience caring and working with different animals. I'm calm and patient, responsible and always eager to learn more about animal care and welfare.
Wind, Woods & Wilderness
WHERE I FEEL MOST ALIVE
PRACTICAL SKILLS. A POSITIVE ATTITUDE. A WILLINGNESS TO LEARN.
More than the outdoors
"Different interests. The same mindset. Keep learning"
Strategy and Creativity
I also enjoy chess, Magic the Gathering and Billiard. These games have taught me to think ahead, stay focussed and find creative solutions.
What others say about me
“"Jason stands out particularly in practical and creative work, shows strong initiative, and independently leads a spray-paint art club. He is calm, patient, and responsible when working with younger students and is especially recommended for practical or creative fields that require personal responsibility."”

Looking for my next adventure
I am looking for a place where I can contribute, learn and become part of a team.
I don't expect to know everything from the beginning. I'm willing to listen, work hard and take responsibility and learn from people with more experience.
Whether it's on a farm, aboard a sailing boat, in an outdoor camp, in a kitchen or working with animals - I'm excited to discover where the next experience will take me.
