About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Marttinen Youth Centre works on local, regional, national and international level. On local level Marttinen coordinates the youth work activities of Virrat municipality, and i.e., oversees organizing the local youth house, youth clubs and youth council activities. On regional level we run a coordination project that aims to develop the quality of youth work in the region by offering trainings, peer support and creating possibilities for dialogue between youth workers, decision makers and young people. Marttinen also work with other NGO’s, schools and more trying to support their agendas and link them stronger to the youth policy through offering training, opportunities and networking as a “hub” for youth work and international youth work.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Marttinen Youth Centre will provide for accommodation, food, leisure time activities and language teaching. Each volunteer will have their own room with common kitchen and bathroom. It’s recommended to attend to free time possibilities in Virrat to get to know the locals. Volunteers have also access to all the equipment and activities in Marttinen. Buses and trains go to the nearest cities daily, to reach Virrat, the volunteers will have bicycles or when/if needed a taxi-bus service.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will be assigned with an individual mentor (one staff member of the involved organisation) to take interest in the volunteers daily life and well-being. The mentor will have regular meetings with the volunteer on weekly basis, to also support the learning of the volunteer and to revise the activities based on the needs and wishes of the volunteer as the project develops.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are reopening this call to find ONE more volunteer! We are looking volunteers who want to learn about youth work and its forms.

We look for people that are flexible and willing to challenge themselves. We appreciate a good sense of humor and the ability to laugh at yourself! For us to know you've read this whole introduction, start your motivation letter / application with the word "TERVE".
Deadline: Application deadline: 15/08/2023

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).
