Join us and other remote workers for one month at a time in select cities in the United States to enjoy community, connection, and the freedom to explore again.
Each Village is designed with themes for specific interests and lifestyles. You’ll find each week packed with thoughtfully curated programming that enables deeper connections and growth.

“My Remote Year journey and my loving new family taught me how to take care of myself; how to be my own star player and biggest fan. They taught me to love myself; to trust myself and my talents. They helped build my self-esteem. They fortified the confidence, peace and strength within me and in others. I couldn’t have asked for a better time.”
“Remote Year is a platform that provides the basics to take you on an amazing journey. Recognizing your own personal limitations and learning to use the platform to grow outside those limitations when you’re ready is the power of the platform. Along the way, you meet amazing people, have incredible experiences, and make new friends.”

We will always prioritize the safety of our customers and will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation. If it is impossible or unsafe for us to deliver Remote Village for our customers, we will postpone or cancel Remote Village. In the event of a postponement or cancellation due to COVID-19, RY will fully refund all fees paid toward the program.
-
We have specifically chosen these locations because our 5 years of creating intentional communities around the world helped us identify locations that have the ability to offer an incredible experience for our participants. We are piloting this concept in the United States where a large portion of our Remote Year community is currently based.
While these are the two locations we have included in our pilot, we will be rapidly introducing more locations to explore with us in the US and internationally in the next 3-6 months.

No, Remote Year does not offer job placement or employment to participants. Remote Year can provide resources for your job search, but you must be able to bring your own job or have the means to cover your program fees while pursuing your passion project
-
Significant Other: Yes, if you are sharing a bedroom with your significant other for the month, you will both need to pay a down payment ($850 each) and you will receive 20% off your monthly fee ($1,600 each per month instead of $2,000 each per month). After you pay your down payment, just send us a message here and we’ll send you discounted invoices for your monthly fees.
Pets: We are working really hard to actually be able to support pets at Village! We are going to do our best to do this within our current housing, but if we can’t, we will look for a different housing situation for you. If we can’t support pets in any of our housing, we will work on an alternative plan together and try our best to get creative.
-
Most apartments will be 2-3 bedrooms, each participant having their own bedroom. However, we are working to have 1-bedroom upgrades available to participants at an additional cost. This would be purchasable closer to the start of your program.
