About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will have the following responsibilities: Cleaning of kennels and general premises. Feeding the animals. Walking the shelter dogs. Socialisation of dogs and cats. Assisting with medication, administration, and assessment. Assisting with behaviour modification protocols. Assisting with interviews for potential adopters. Helping in the charity shops.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will have a private bedroom with access to a bathroom and a fully-equipped kitchen to enable them to cook their meals. MCVS will ensure that public transportation is accessible and in the proximity of the lodging area as well as the activity locations. The Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector (MCVS) will also provide the participants with pocket money and monthly food allowance, and give them all the practical information when it comes to living in Malta.

🎒 Leisure activities

MCVS will create an official training programme to the volunteers to give them the opportunity to develop their skills and learn more throughout their experience. They will be invited to participate in self-development workshops which will be led by experienced youth workers employed by MCVS. Qualified mentors will be assigned to each of the volunteers to follow their progression. MCVS will also organise one-to-one and group evaluation sessions with the participants + with the hosting locations. We will provide volunteers with an emergency contact 24/7 in order to ensure their safety.

⚠️ Requirements

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).
