About the project

ESC: Discover your impact abroad - Volunteer for volunteers - May 25-April 26

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

SIW International Volunteer Projects is seeking a creative and motivated volunteer to join our marketing and communications team for a one-year European Solidarity Corps (ESC) project. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in marketing, communications, and volunteer placements while supporting meaningful global projects. SIW is an exchange organization mostly run by volunteers, offering international volunteer placements locally and worldwide. As an ESC volunteer, you will be involved in our marketing efforts, including creating visual content, implementing our new housestyle, developing campaigns, analyzing social media performance, and promoting SIW’s global initiatives online or in outreach events. You’ll also contribute to office tasks, customer relations, trainings, and hands-on activities like cultural activity planning for volunteers. In addition, you'll have time for personal development

🏠 Accommodation on site

Our office is in the heart of Utrecht, a vibrant historic university city in the centre of the Netherlands. Your apartment with a private bedroom and shared kitchen/living area is above the office. The trainstation and restaurants, bars and shops are all within walking distance. We also have a bicycle for you so you can move around like a real Dutchie. Of course you will receive monthly pocket money and food money. Travel costs are reimbursed for the trip from home to the project and back, based on distance. We encourage you to travel green and come by train or bus.

🎒 Leisure activities

Half a working day a week is dedicated to your self-development. To reflect on your progress, tasks and personal goals you will have meetings with your mentor and the ESC coordinator. You will attend the on-arrival and mid-term training organised by the National Agency and meet volunteers of other ESC projects within the Netherlands. SIW will offer you different assignments and training opportunities and you will be able to learn Dutch. We will assign you a buddy who can help with practical questions, finding fun activities, or even doing them together.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We're looking for: - a passionate, social person who loves connecting with others and exploring new cultures - with a background in or a knack for marketing (think proven experience in Canva or InDesign), you’re all about strong communication and teamwork - you're independent but flexible, always ready to take on new challenges and learn on the go. - it is important that you are independent on a personal level as well as in your work and that you are not afraid to go and create a social life for yourself outside of the office - you’re curious about the Dutch language and culture (bonus if you already know a bit of Dutch!) and don’t mind diving into a fast-paced, ever-changing environment like an NGO. ! Selected participants will be invited to join an infomeeting on Thursday 20 March, so you can determine if it's the right project for you. Participation in this meeting is mandatory for continuation of the selection process.
Deadline: 19/03/2025 12:00

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
