Roles
Roles
a Friend
(sponsor?)
Friends contribute a $1000 annual contribution. This includes 1 week a year at the Choza for yourself or others. The remainder of Friends' contributions may be recognized as tax-deductible donations.
Friends contribute ideas and provide feedback on development of the community and projects, primarily through our Loomio group. Annual gatherings at the Choza for Friends and their extended community provide an opportunity to connect with each other and experience the benefits of the Choza to provide the spaciousness necessary for reflection, connection and collaboration.
Role of a Fellow
(different name?! not gendered!!)
https://embassynetwork.com/locations/choza/fellowship/
Fellowship positions are offered on a 1+ month basis, individuals will have conducted their own research either previously at the Choza Del Mundo or externally. Fellows produce open, shared documentation (written or other formats) synthesizing insights and lessons learned in a way that could inform the work of other people.
Role of a "Host" / Hostess
https://embassynetwork.com/locations/choza/host/
By joining the Choza as a Host you will be part of a team responsible for overseeing guest programs, on-site projects and integration with the local Costa Rican community. Hosts work in pairs at Choza Del Mundo for 3.5 months. Come share your welcoming nature, your drive for community and light demeanor with us!
Host Overview The Host program anchors the Choza community. This team is bonded remotely year-round. Every quarter, at least two individuals will be on-site in Costa Rica to run the Choza programs. The Hosts set our tempo and culture, so we are looking for individuals that are diverse in their passions, skills and contributions, and that together with remote members, form a strong, resilient team.
About You We are looking for hardy, self-reliant individuals that enjoy meeting and getting to know a variety of people. Ideal hosts will enjoy communicating and soliciting feedback, both on-line and in person, and will actively participate in collaborative decision-making processes. They will enjoy communal cooking, supporting others and creating connections between individuals Hosts should enjoy creating experiences for our guests, by paying attention to the details necessary to make the experience an enjoyable one. You will be our link to the local community, so spending time to host neighbors for coffee, participating in community meetings, and being aware of our influence on the community around the Choza is paramount. We consciously want to be part of the local community and to learn from the generations before us for thriving in a rural jungle agricultural lifestyle.
The host role is not a full time job but a comes first role. Some days between the chickens running around and going through laundry, cleaning bathrooms and setting up rooms for guest arrivals, it may be-- but as a general rule, there is plenty of time to pursue your own projects as well. We’re excited for what hosts bring of their own passions and goals, and how that will fit into life at the Choza and the broader Choza team. The Choza is part of an ecosystem of community spaces, with very much a whole-person approach to collaboration. We encourage potential hosts to let us know how their other projects might fit into and be supported by the broader team, and vice versa.
