💼 What the programme involves

Verbund sozialer Dienste gGmbH (VSD) is working in the field of child and youth welfare in the surrounding of Bad Essen near Osnabrück. Charly's Kinderparadies Bad Essen gGmbH was founded in 2016 as a subsidiary of VSD. Charly's Kinderparadies Bad Essen is located in a residential street directly by the forest in an old villa, adjacent to a large playground. The facility consists of a total of three crèche groups: two morning groups and one afternoon group. Each group is staffed by two educators and one additional educational specialist. Only educators with state certification are employed.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers get their own room in the flat. A ticket for local public transport will be provided. In order to ensure that the volunteers are quickly supplied with things for their daily needs in Bad Essen, they can be provided with a vehicle for the duration of their service. Meals can be provided in the morning and at lunchtime in the kindergarten. At lunch, there is a choice of two dishes, one of which is always a vegetarian meal.

🎒 Leisure activities

The task-related preparation is carried out by employees in the kindergarten, in relation to the ESC framework conditions by the mentors, who act as a contact person for all questions and problems. At the beginning, there is an expectation meeting with the mentor in charge. Reflection meetings are held at regular intervals, the results are documented and are intended to contribute to a rapid integration of the volunteer. In addition to the OLS, German language courses are held as soon as possible if there is a need.In case of language barriers, an interpreter can be called in at any time.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: This type of work consists of two main tasks. From noon the volunteers help in a primary school in the so-called full-day program following the regular lessons. The children are with their pedagogues at school. The second type of work consists of open youth meetings and activities in the late afternoon or evenings. This is a kind of open café for children and young people with various leisure activities for younger children as well as for teenagers.
Deadline: No application deadline
