🏢 About the local organisation

L'Associazione InformaGiovani a été fondée en 2001 à l'initiative d'un groupe de bénévoles qui géraient le desk InformaGiovani de la ville de Palerme. A partir de septembre 2024, c'est un ETS – Organisme du Tiers Secteur, inscrit au Registre Unique National spécifique.
Aujourd'hui, l'Association est l'organe de coordination d'un Réseau européen pour le volontariat social qui compte 16 membres dans 14 pays de l'Union européenne et des partenariats avec des organisations de tous les continents.

💼 What the programme involves

IMPORTANT: to apply to this project you MUST use the form available at www.informa-giovani.net/esc-caritas The activities of Caritas Diocesana di Patti are carried out in order to achieve the organisation's objectives, which are to promote volunteering and to support people with fewer opportunities. Volunteers will be involved in solidarity activities (such as food distribution, clothing distribution and the organisation of solidarity events), in orientation and support activities for young people and in the management of a meeting place. Volunteers can make it possible to provide direct and continuous support for the activities, while at the same time promoting a culture of active participation and solidarity.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are actively seeking enthusiastic volunteers, aged between 20-30 years old, who are passionate about social change. A key priority of this initiative is to provide an opportunity for young people who themselves face fewer opportunities or come from disadvantaged backgrounds, believing strongly in the value of their perspective and empowerment. Ideal candidates will have previous experience participating in workcamps or other volunteering activities, either in their home country or abroad, demonstrating a sustained commitment to community service. We are looking for people with a strong and genuine interest in youth work, committed to promoting active youth participation, inclusive volunteering and broader social inclusion. Candidates must be highly motivated to use and learn non-formal education methods as powerful tools for engagement. Essential skills include effective communication with young people and a proven ability to work collaboratively in a diverse team. Although not mandatory, previous international volunteering experience and possession of a valid driving licence are considered valuable assets that will be welcomed. People with fewer opportunities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
