By Maria Farrugia | January 9, 2023 | News -

We’re looking for people like you to join our team, and help spread the uptake of bamboo building around the world.
Orin and I recently sat down to look at what we offer at Bamboo U to refine what our hopes are for people.

- Providing consult on bamboo projects.
- Connecting you with the right people who can help bring your projects to life.

Today, we’re tackling that last goal & we’d like to Invite You to join us in Bali for a period of 6 months; to learn, to contribute, and to potentially completely change the trajectory of your life and career with bamboo.
We call the opportunity the Student Visitors Program, because we do feel that the opportunity is best suited for students and recent graduates with minimal commitments & a bamboo project or subject in mind that they would like to spend time researching and/or experimenting in.
