📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Our educational center in Northeim focuses on educating disadvantaged groups. The volunteer will work in our project „Neue Wege finden“ where we offer coaching and seminars for single parents. Here, we talk about how to find a proper job or childcare. Parents can bring their children and meet other parents in our café.
Typical tasks:
1. The volunteer supports us in our café. The visitors are mainly single women, often with a migrant background. Here they can develop social relationships. The presence of volunteers can create new horizons by reporting from their home countries. So, volunteers learn more about life in Germany and visitors gain more self-confidence.
2. The volunteer can work on his/ her own mini project and thus get to know project management in adult education from start to finish, always supported by specialist mentors. The topic of the mini project is based on the volunteer´s interests (e.g. homecountry´s culture or a special hobby).
🏠 Accommodation on site
The Northeim education center offers one place for European volunteers. You are part of our team for 8 months. The volunteer working for this project will live and work in Northeim, a small town in the middle of Germany. You will be accommodated in a student dormitory with your own small apartment. There and as part of our team you will certainly be able to settle in quickly.
Our team consists of professional and voluntary staff. You will come into contact with single parents, support them in making contacts, finding help or just having fun.
🎒 Leisure activities
In your country of origin, an organization will discuss everything you need to know about your time abroad. In Germany, you will have a tutor at your side who guides you professionally and will answer all questions about your voluntary service. Your personal mentor will help you with topics that concern the private area of your stay in Germany.
You will have the opportunity to attend German classes and join the accompanying seminars of the European Solidarity Corps. Since the LEB is an organisation that provides adult education, you have easy access to more training opportunities.
⚠️ Requirements
