📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
“F.R.I.E.N.D.S. (Favorire Relazioni Inclusive Europee Non Discriminanti e Solidali)” project will be held in Siderno city (Southern Italy) and its surroundings for 8 months, between 02.03.2022 - 31.03.2024.
The period of service for the volunteer will be 10th June 2022 - 10th Feb 2023.
The approach of our organization is based on the promotion of solidarity through volunteering activities. We encourage on a daily basis young people within our community, and most of all our volunteers, to actively participate and cooperate.
By doing this we build trust in the community that we serve while increasing a personal, social and cultural growth of our volunteers. A fundamental part of our work is to promote cultural diversity, to create awareness about environmental issues and to fight every form of exclusion and discrimination.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In order to guarantee and protect the privacy of the volunteers it will be necessary to rent an apartment.
Precisely, the apartment will be equipped with system and heating, electricity, water, internet connection, refrigerator, oven and kitchen. The house will be located a few steps from the office to facilitate the volunteer with transport. Therefore, the volunteer will be be able to independently buy the most popular food and ingredients at a supermarket located a few meters from the apartment.
🎒 Leisure activities
YMCA Siderno will provide 3 weeks of introductory training and the National Agency will provide On Arrival Training (OAT) Mid Term Meeting (MTM), where there will be an evaluation of the mid term project. During the introductory YMCA Siderno will train the volunteers to understand the social impact that the organization has on the local community and the 74 years history of the organization.
