About the project

ESC: EPVP 6.3 - Two months inside SocialXChange, Romania's first charity shop that runs on points

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

For two months you'll be part of the team that keeps SocialXChange running: taking in what the city donates, putting it back into circulation, and telling people about it. SocialXChange is the first of its kind in Romania, set up by DGASPC Sector 6. Donors get points, not money, and families from disadvantaged backgrounds choose what they need from the shelves themselves.

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

Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
This organisation holds a European Solidarity Corps Quality Label.
