Where we’re going
Totally Tasty (15th June – 15th July 2012)
Totally Tasty is totally coastal, well, mostly! Cycle across lowlands and up and down small hills following the south-east coast line before venturing into London for our cycle tour debut in the capital, and a grand finale performance!
Western Quest (10th August – 22nd September 2012)
Whiz around the west on your bicycle this summer. Starting in south Wales, this tour will pedal a wee way north into England and then back south through the rolling hills of Somerset and Devon before meeting the pirates of Penzance.
Tastetastic! (4th-25th August 2012)
Lick your lips and get in gear for our first ever food tour. Tantalise your taste buds on our Tastetastic! tour as you pedal across southern Scotland for three weeks exploring food sustainability.
Find out the what, when, where, why, who and how – and apply here. It’s first come, first served for these tours, so get your application in soon to avoid disappointment!

How we work: We are a tight-knit and fast-paced team, although we make time for training and skill-sharing opportunities whenever possible. We value everyone’s opinion equally and this is reflected in our decision-making processes. We also all muck in and share the necessary evils of administrative work, and we try to walk the talk and test out creative sustainable solutions in the office. At the moment we’re harvesting our carpark garden and designing new office energy-saving measures! If you think you’d thrive as a member of our team, then please keep checking here for opportunities.
Additional opportunities: If you’re looking for voluntary experience in environmental education, facilitation, office management, writing or fundraising, please do get in touch.
Please note: The Otesha Project is an equal opportunity organisation and we value the different expertise and diversity of our volunteers. We strive to make our programs as accessible as possible and will work with committed individuals to ensure participation. We do not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, place of origin, class, citizenship, system of belief, gender, sexual orientation, language, marital status, family status, physical and/or mental disability. However, as a youth-led organisation we reserve some volunteer roles for young people only.
