Have you chosen WWOOFing as an adventure to experience as a couple<\/strong>, with a group of friends, or with family?<\/p>\n\n WWOOFing in a couple or groups can be an enriching experience for you and your host.<\/p>\n\n Remember, however, that every WWOOFer must be duly registered as a member and have their own personal membership card<\/strong> to be covered from a legal and insurance standpoint<\/strong>. This also applies to minors: from the age of 16 if they are traveling independently or from 14 if they are accompanied by at least one parent or guardian. <\/p>\n\n Anyone who travels with you without being a member of the association cannot be considered a WWOOFer<\/strong> and therefore will not have the legal and insurance coverage of WWOOF Italy<\/strong> to carry out WWOOFing activities in good standing.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n \u2611\ufe0fIn case of two adults traveling together, when you pay your membership fee you will need to choose the “Couples Membership” option to add your travel companion to your account. <\/strong><\/strong>On your couple profile you must indicate both of your first and last names to let hosts know that you are both regular members. You will be able to contact hosts through your shared profile to make arrangements for your WWOOF visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u27a1\ufe0fIf one of you is a minor contact the secretariat at progetto.minori@wwoof.it for instructions on how to register.<\/strong> You can find more information on thededicated article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n If you need clarification or assistance please contact us at staff@wwoof.it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n WWOOF Italia is an Association. Those who sign up to WWOOF Italia do not buy a list of contacts, but become a member and a volunteer of the association and will be able to visit the Educational Centres managed by the host farms.<\/p>\n\n The relationship between Members is equal while respecting the different roles and allowing a calm exchange in pursuit of the common purpose of “promoting the development of natural agriculture as a lifestyle choice and the dissemination of ideas and practices for a healthy balance between man and nature.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n When you respect the Status and Rules of the Association<\/a>, the legality of your WWOOFing relationship is guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n For this reason, it is important to be in good standing and to keep a copy of the Membership Card on hand to prove adherence to the Membership Covenant to authorities should the need arise and for mutual protection in the relationship between Members.<\/p>\n\n It may happen that in the middle of the stay at a Host’s, that the authorities carry out a control of regularity on the farm.<\/p>\n\n Be prepared to be able to demonstrate your membership in WWOOF Italy APS by appropriately describing its purpose.<\/p>\n\nInsights<\/h2>\n\n
