About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The project at Lubeck site in Ghent in Belgium accommodates single persons and families coming from precarious mobile living conditions and aims to provide them with better and stable housing and living conditions that enable them to build a future. Caritas Vlaanderen is responsible for the quality management and operation of the residential site. In doing so, we are strongly committed to ensuring a warm welcome, good cohabitation on the site, activities and entertainment, community work and cooperation with various Ghent partner organizations. Volunteers will be asked to contribute in the organization and implementation of an ongoing programme of activities for children, during schooldays and weekends (e.g homework support, sports, crafts, games, etc). They will be supported by 2 animators on the site.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Caritas Vlaanderen will secure accommodation before the arrival of the volunteer: room in a shared student flat. Caritas will ensure that volunteers receive their poket money and food allowance at the beginning of each month. Volunteers will get a bicycle of Caritas Vlaanderen as local transport in Ghent. If there is a need to travel out of Ghent for their volunteer engagement, they will get a "Go Pass/Rail Pass" to use the train or the reimbursement of tickets for transportation.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunters will follow a basis training to have the same information as local volunteers, and as well a specific training on Roma and travelers people. Volunteers will have the opportunity to follow trainings with the team on different topics.

⚠️ Requirements
