High Spirit Community Farm Community life and meaningful work for people with disabilities We knew that there were limited options. We began meetings in 2004.

High Spirit Community Farm was founded by a group of families seeking a healthful, joyful and supportive community for their young adult children with significant special needs. We wanted our children to receive quality care and to participate in a meaningful manner in the world around them. Inspired by Camphill Communities, we eventually decided to form a lifesharing community near Great Barrington, Massachusetts. High Spirit's first house, Seekonk House, opened its doors in 2008. Three of our original group of young adults in need of support had benefitted from schooling and residential care at Camphill Special School, in Pennsylvania. It was there that we discovered that life for persons with disabilities canbe rich and rewarding, while also being both challenging and nurturing. Camphill is our inspiration and generously continues to offer us support and continuing education as we grow. We chose to locate ourselves in Great Barrington because it has a vibrant town and community life, is surrounded by many farms and is home to several other lifesharing communities for persons with disabilities. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services also supports High Spirit Community Farm and offers oversight and licensing through the Alliance for Special Needs.

High Spirit is hiring! We currently have two very exciting positions open. Would you be a good fit?

High Spirit is an intentional community where we share our lives with adults with intellectual disabilities. This is rewarding work on our 5 acre farm in Great Barrington, Massachusetts that blends caregiving, farming, and community integration to create meaningful lives for everyone who lives here. Both open positions come with full time housing.

Our Live In Direct Support Professional opening is great for someone who is newer to this field and looking to learn and grow. This job is mostly a caregiving role, though you will have opportunities to try out new things often. It is ideal for single people who can commit to at least one year, though the opportunity to stay longer is there as well. This can also be ideal for students taking classes online, or as an OPT year for those studying social service related fields.

Our House Leader & Program Leader role is ideal for someone with some experience under their belt, so that is not required for the right candidate! It is also a role that can be ideal for two people, so couples are strongly encouraged to apply jointly! This role blends caregiving, with supervisory skills and advocacy.

Winter can be a challenging season to occupy our time, but we do our best to find ways to get out and about!

Hula hooping at Umpacene Falls with Rory and Cybele, recycling trips with Lucy, and impromptu slide shenanigans with Bar are just a few ways we’re keeping the energy moving. Boom! πŸ’«
