📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The APJC is an association that has been offering activities for all publics for 54 years, especially for young people. The APJC promotes the values of solidarity, openness to the world, access to rights and culture, democracy and respect for human dignity. It is a place of conviviality and active participation of the members, in particular thanks to thematic commissions, places of participation and decision making. The team is made up of 18 employees and nearly 40 volunteers who work together for the empowerment of residents. The APJC concentrates its actions in two poles, the leisure pole and the social action pole. The leisure sector includes : - leisure activities, cultural and artistic activities from the age of 3 until 99 (theatre, singing, plastic arts, hip-hop, etc.) run by professionals employees or volunteers ; - cultural events (shows, concerts, exhibitions, etc.) chosen and organised with the participation of residents and members. The social action sector includes : - support for rights and parenthood, specifically for people and families in precarious or fragile situations (individual and collective information and support, socialisation and initiative-taking spaces) - support for schooling, for children aged 6 to 17; - support for families for their first holiday resort. The APJC shares the values of all the structures that make up the networks to which it is affiliated: the Federation of Social Centers of the county of Seine-Saint-Denis and the Regional Federation of Youth and Cultural Centres of Ile de France.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteer will contribute to the activities of the APJC in the fields of 'Youth & Citizenship', 'Leisure and Culture', and 'Social Action'. The main task will be to participate in socio-cultural animation missions, youth animation, and the promotion of volunteering initiatives. In all areas, the volunteer can bring an intercultural dimension and an openness to major European issues, to awaken residents and members to the embrace of other cultures. Among the missions: • participation in the animation of social activities for children, teenagers, and young adults, supporting them in their projects and initiatives • participation in the organization of socio-cultural events • participation in the daily life of the association, in collective projects • participation in enhancing the living space, in facilitating spaces for meeting and socializing • participation in actions promoting mobility programs. The volunteer will also have the opportunity to propose their own ideas.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The hosted Volunteers are accommodated collectively in a shared house, comprising 5 individual bedrooms and shared spaces (living room, kitchen, bathroom, terrace, garden). The house is located a 10-minute walk from the activity location, and 45 minutes from the center of Paris by public transport. For meals, the Volunteers receive a monthly allowance, and can heat their meals or cook at the activity location.

🎒 Leisure activities

Tutors support the volunteers in their progress and in their learning. French courses are scheduled in the volunteers' timetable, in the same place as the activity (three levels possible).

⚠️ 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).
