EARTH TO CITY programs work by first immersing you in an agrarian or wildlife-based community for 5 days. You'll do hands-on work side-by-side with people in the community, such as milking cows, fleecing sheep, etc. If after 5 days you decide you'd like to stay, you can arrange with community organizers to live with a family working on volunteer projects that interest both you and the community.
