About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The CVJM Luckau, also known as YMCA Luckau, is part of the international association YMCA, which aims to promote the physical, intellectual, and spiritual development of young people. Although specific information about CVJM Luckau is limited without recent data, typical YMCA activities include holiday camps, educational programs, sports, discussion groups, and volunteer projects, all within a Christian framework.

💼 What the programme involves

The goal of the Lebenshof project is to empower young people with fewer opportunities so that after a proper period of time they can take control and responsibility for their lives and have a future with perspective and the same opportunities as their agemates. Our offer is a combination of school and practical training called “Produktionsschule”. In this work, we involve the volunteers. The volunteer is involved in the educational work and supports the practical work of the young people in several workshops (pottery, wood, garden, domestic economy). Anticipated tasks: support and guidance for young people in the workshops, participation in the monthly training days for youths, personal support for the adolescents with learning difficulties in mathematics and English, participation in intercultural meetings and projects, participation in sustainability projects (urban gardening), work with refugees in the Lebenshof-Projekt in short-time projects, support and sale in the store.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Our association will choose accommodation for volunteers mainly in a host family and will ensure that it is safe. The volunteer will get a bike to be flexible in the area. In addition, there will be handed out a German BahnCard 25 getting 25 percent off during traveling by train in Germany.

🎒 Leisure activities

Language course in German, intercultural training, training for the youth leader card in Germany.

⚠️ Requirements

Ideally and to gain the most advantage for the volunteer from this year it would be helpful if the volunteer is socially oriented and talented in dealing with young people. Preexperiences in this working field are not strictly needed. Basic German is reguired
Deadline: Application deadline: 31/05/2024

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).
