About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Espoo's Youth Services provide valuable services to young people, particularly those aged 13-17, but also to those over 16. We operate a range of programs and initiatives aimed at helping young people to succeed. One of the core offerings of the Youth Services is 19 local youth clubs, which provide opportunities for young people to try new things, meet new people, and challenge themselves. We are looking for 5 volunteers to participate in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of youth work together with our paid staff. The tasks include, for example, engaging in discussions with young people, planning and organizing various events, and running clubs or courses. The volunteer's personal skills and interests somewhat determine the type of tasks they perform with us. The work primarily takes place during the leisure time of local youth, and the main task is to interact with young people. Youth services also organize events such as lan parties and concerts.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in a shared apartment in Espoo, which is located in the capital region of Finland close to Helsinki. You will receive food money to buy groceries and cook food for yourself.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: All we require is an open attitude and flexibility. Working with young people provides you with a constantly changing environment where no day is alike. We will take into account your personal skills and learning goals and do our best to tailor your tasks to meet your needs. We are looking for volunteers with at least basic communication skills in English. We wish applicants from diverse backgrounds, including representatives of different genders, as well as persons belonging to linguistic, cultural and other minorities.
Deadline: Application deadline: 03/08/2023

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
