Volunteer Positions
This is our first year welcoming volunteers into Nomad Greenland — a step we're taking with care and intention.
To be transparent, we’ve never felt fully comfortable with the idea of people working without pay. But we’re also preparing for the reality that this summer may bring unexpected shifts in travel. While Greenland remains peaceful and safe — and we’d love nothing more than to welcome our American guests — recent political tensions between Greenland and the U.S. might influence travel decisions outside our control.
In light of this, we’re planning a little differently. Alongside our paid crew, we’re inviting a small group of volunteers to join us in the camps. Not as replacements, but as part of a shared team. This helps us stay flexible if bookings change, and it also gives us space to offer more — more time off, more chances to join a tour, more room to just be here.
The roles we’re opening are all hands-on and meaningful — and part of a daily rhythm that’s shaped by presence, care, and connection to the land.
These are the roles we’re opening for volunteers:
🏕 Assisting Camp Manager
A grounding presence in the daily rhythm of camp. As Camp Manager, you’ll help guide the flow of each day — coordinating staff, solving small problems before they grow, and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. It’s a role for someone organized, adaptable, and calm in both planning and the unexpected.
🛠 Handyman
A steady, practical role focused on keeping the technical side of camp running — from firewood to water, from small fixes to fuel runs. A good fit for someone who enjoys being useful, active, and self-directed.
🍽 Chef’s Helper
If you find comfort in the hum of a kitchen and the simplicity of preparing good meals, this one’s for you. You’ll support our chef with prep, service, and setting a warm tone in our shared dining space.
🧼 Cleaning Crew
A quiet but essential role — keeping the camp clean, calm, and welcoming. This includes daily care of guest tents, private bathrooms, and common spaces.
🔄 Buffer
What we offer
Not one job, but many small ones. The buffer steps in where help is needed — maybe in the kitchen, maybe with cleaning, maybe even offering short-term support in managing the camp. It's a varied and flexible role that calls for calm energy and a collaborative spirit.

Who We’re Looking For:
You don’t need a title—but you do need to be practical, grounded, and curious.
We imagine you:
-
Are comfortable living simply, far from towns and cities
-
Feel at ease in nature — even when the weather shifts or things don’t go to plan
-
Can work independently, but also understand what it means to be part of a team
-
Take pride in small tasks — cleaning, cooking, fixing, folding, carrying
-
Are resourceful and creative when something unexpected comes up
-
Speak English or Greenlandic
-
Are available from mid-June to mid-September
-
And more than anything, want to spend a season where presence matters more than polish
