"It took a month to DO it, but 5-6 months to save up... totally worth it!"
How I did it: There's an application on the website... choose your program, and fill it out!
It's a challenging program, not for people who are unstable or unwilling to stretch outside of their comfort zones, but I found myself growing and changing in unexpected ways! I left with new skills, new friends, and a new-found respect for myself!
Lessons & tips: Come ready to work, share, and communicate your needs. There are a lot of people living and working in close quarters, and the more flexibility you can bring, the more you will enjoy your experience.
Also, staying on for another month or two is a possibility, so if you think there's the slightest chance you could... clear your schedule! This place has a way of making people want to stay!
Resources: Bring earplugs, a sleeping mask, and your own snacks, soda, & booze, if you must have them! There's plenty of food, but you can go a month without seeing an M&M or a can of Coke!
