About the project

ESC: Food Ambassador at Serve the City Belgium

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Join Serve the City Belgium (STC) as a Food Ambassador and help us fight food insecurity and homelessness in our local community! STC is a volunteering organization that coordinates food distributions to the homeless and provides other humanitarian aid. As a Food Ambassador, you would play a vital role in our work, assisting with tasks such as: - Participating in regular food distributions - Creating content to raise awareness of food insecurity and homelessness (e.g. articles, interviews, reports...) - Designing and distributing communication materials for beneficiaries (e.g. maps, posters, flyers...) - Supporting coordinators in evaluating projects and designing sustainability strategies This volunteering opportunity is perfect for anyone who is passionate about helping others and making a difference in their community. You will learn about the challenges of food insecurity and humanitarian aid, and gain valuable experience in a variety of tasks related to these fields.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The participants will be accommodated in a shared flat (max 4 people) chosen in advance by STC. If they do not agree with the accommodation proposed, we will explore together alternative options. Volunteers will manage their food with the money allocated in the programme. STC will cover the food during their volunteering time in projects. STC will cover the costs of transport. Volunteers will receive a MOBIB card loaded with a public transport tickets for the duration of their stay. The card can be used for both volunteering and private private travel

🎒 Leisure activities

In order to better understand their role, the volunteer will complete specific training on the particularities of food outreach projects with the volunteer coordinator and volunteer project leaders. The volunteer will also learn about food distribution logistics, coordination with other humanitarian nonprofits, organizational procedures for nonprofits, grassroots movement development, and volunteering as a tool for social cohesion and community development.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for a highly motivated young person that would like to learn how we can make a difference in our local communities through volunteering. Ideally, this person will be values-driven, solution-oriented, open-minded, and autonomous. We would love to have the support of someone that enjoys leadership as much as teamwork, and that defines themselves as a hands-on person, wishing to learn about the situation on the ground. Although not a compulsory requirement, it will be convenient if the participant has a driving license valid in Belgium and speaks intermediate French and/or Dutch.
Deadline: Application deadline: 18/12/2023

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).
