💼 What the programme involves
Theme or type of Project: Employment, recycling, fair trade
Aims of the project: To provide support to people to have faced problem with drugs to access and maintain a job.
Project activities: ‘EL tren' is a project that works for helping people that have faced problems with drugs to start again. This beginning is follow up by a communitarian centre that cooperates in all the needs of the people (housing, documents, doctors, etc). In this communitarian centre we are developing a project that is focused in the employment area.
We promote the social inclusion of people who are in situation of extreme poverty. For that we have started a cooperative.
For helping them we have two different steps:
*Participation in the cooperative. This is the first step for those who haven't had a job for a long period. We have created a cooperative that makes furniture with pallets donated by the companies of the neighborhood.

Volunteer´s tasks:
We are looking for volunteers interested in cooperating in projects for helping people to have a new job.
Volunteers should be flexible to a really flexible project, we are working with people that have face different social and economic problems. It is not easy to fulfill the expectations of the volunteers and trainers but it is really motivating when you generate a change in the life of the participants.
We have a carpentry and we recycle pallets to make furniture. So you can learn or you can share your knowledge. Some experience is useful and some motivation in learning is helpful too.
We need someone interested in helping to make sustainable the cooperative.
We need to develop a marketing campaign to sell the products to generate incomes and distribute them among the participants. Besides the volunteer will be asked to help in the communication area and in the follow up process of the participants that are working.
We need to write reports every months and the opinion of the volunteers are really welcome.
