About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

You're looked for volunteering in an institution specialized in youth welfare: it offers work training, and sometimes accomodation, for 16 young N.E.E.T. aged between 15 and 19. The project aims to empower these youngsters towards a long-term professional and personal independence. The emphasis is on a transfer of knowledge and skills able to stabilize the youngsters, thus preparing them to be integrated into the labour market. You will assist an experienced, qualified and composite team (psychologists, trainers and professional youth workers) in workshops, meetings with employers and fostering of social skills. You will also support the housing team engaged in recreational activities, cooking, and creation of a caring environment. Spending time with the young guests, you'll help them with their educational needs and personal growth, encouraging towards tidiness and responsibility. You'll organize also free time activities to promote team spirit, physycal health and overall well-being.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You'll have your own room in a dormitory in Graz. From there, you'll commute daily by train to Kapfenberg, for which you’ll be provided with a ticket for public transport valid in the entire Styria Region. You’ll receive a monthly food allowance for your self-supply for an amount of 270 euros. As usual in the E.S.C., you’ll receive also a pocket money for an amount of 180 euros per month. The travel from Italy to Austria and back will be completely reimbursed. You’ll be covered by the insurance company agreed with the European Solidarity Corps.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will attend a pre-departure training before leaving Italy, a so-called “on arrival training” a few weeks after your advent in Austria, and possibly a mid-term training after six months of volunteering. You will be provided with a German Language Course. In this project, you can learn a lot about youth behaviour, education system and social work.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: To be considered for this position you must be mature and open-minded, ready to work with youngsters from difficult backgrounds in a dynamic environment, with a strong commitment towards their well-being. You'll have good communication skills, willingness to learn German language and communicate through it. You'll show empathy and understanding towards the challenges faced by vulnerable youth. A prior experience in youth work, counseling, or related fields is an advantage but not mandatory.

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).
