The offer from Karukera & Friends : As a European Solidarity Corps volunteer, you will contribute to educational, artistic and intercultural activities that empower young people through non-formal education.

Throughout your volunteering experience, you will develop skills in youth work, project management, intercultural communication, event organisation and non-formal education, while making a meaningful impact on the local community.

Volunteers will be accommodated in a shared flat with other ESC volunteers, in double or triple rooms with shared common areas. A grocery allowance will be provided every two weeks, allowing volunteers to prepare their own meals. Local public transportation is covered through a bus pass, making it easy to travel between the accommodation and activity locations. In addition, volunteers will have the opportunity to take part in a monthly group excursion to discover Guadeloupe's natural and cultural heritage.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for motivated young people aged 18–30 who are curious, open-minded and eager to engage in an intercultural experience. No previous experience is required. We value motivation, creativity and a willingness to learn more than technical skills. Ideal volunteers are interested in one or more of the following areas: - Youth work - Non-formal education - Arts and culture - Languages - European mobility - Community engagement We are especially looking for volunteers who are enthusiastic about sharing their own culture and language with others, while also being open to discovering Caribbean culture, traditions and ways of life. We believe that intercultural exchange is a two-way process where everyone learns from one another. Basic English is recommended. French is an advantage but is not required. Volunteers should be comfortable living in a shared environment and ready to actively participate in all aspects of the project.

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).
