Workaway Italy – Seasonal Team Leader Program

Advanced Work Exchange in Sicilia

This Workaway‑style seasonal program is designed for people with experience in permaculture, cooking & nutrition, or off‑grid water and energy systems. Unlike short‑term Workaway stays, this is a full‑season leadership position with clear responsibilities.

You contribute your skills, coordinate small teams and support the development of a sustainable, autonomous project in Sicilia.

Areas of Responsibility

We are looking for experienced applicants in the following fields:

  • Permaculture & Garden – planning, soil building, compost, maintenance
  • Cooking & Nutrition – vegetarian kitchen, menu planning, retreat support
  • Off‑Grid Systems – solar, pumps, filtration, rainwater systems

As a team leader, you structure workflows, guide helpers and collaborate closely with the core team.

Season Duration & Framework

This program runs for the entire season (spring to autumn). Short‑term stays are not possible.

It is a work exchange model at an advanced level:

  • Accommodation
  • Community life
  • Yoga practice
  • Leadership responsibilities

This is not an entry‑level Workaway. It is intended for people with practical experience and leadership skills.

Why This Workaway Program Is Unique

The seasonal program offers:

  1. Long‑term responsibility.
    You actively shape a sustainable project.
  2. Professional roles.
    Not simple tasks — you lead a field of work.
  3. Autonomy focus.
    Work with solar, water, permaculture and nutrition systems.
  4. Stable community.
    You become part of a long‑term team.
  5. Growth through responsibility.
    Ideal for people who want to contribute their expertise.

Workaway Sicilia – For Experienced Applicants

This program is ideal for people who already have hands‑on experience and want to spend a full season contributing to a sustainable project in Sicilia. It is not a typical Workaway for travelers — it is a leadership‑level work exchange.

If you bring expertise in one of the fields and can stay for the season, we look forward to your application.
