About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Join CECAP JOVEN and contribute to creating enjoyable leisure and free time experiences for young people with intellectual disabilities, promoting their social inclusion and a more inclusive society. As a volunteer, you will play a key role in planning, coordinating, and facilitating various activities, group trips, and youth workshops. In some cases, you will be able to accompany young people on their trips, helping them with public transport and providing support, thereby promoting their personal development. Join us to have a positive impact on the lives of young people in socially vulnerable situations by sharing meaningful experiences.

🏠 Accommodation on site

During your experience as a volunteer, we prioritize your comfort and support. You will share an apartment with another volunteer, with your own private room to rest peacefully and have your personal space, as well as enjoy the common areas of the apartment. This financial support includes €6 per day for personal expenses and €23 per day to cover all other needs, such as accommodation, food, transportation, and other expenses related to the period of the activities.

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).
