📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Der JugendSozialwerk Nordhausen e.V. ist ein in Thüringen und Sachsen anerkannter, freier und gemeinnütziger Träger, der als Mitglied im Paritätischen Wohlfahrtsverband eine Vielzahl sozialer Dienstleistungen anbietet. Wir unterstützen und betreuen Kinder, Jugendliche, Familien, Senioren und Menschen mit Fluchterfahrung bei der Bewältigung ihres Alltages. Ca. 1.200 Mitarbeiter leisten in über 80 Einrichtungen qualitativ hochwertige Arbeit. Durch unser jahrelanges Engagement im Bereich der internationalen Arbeit und dem damit verbundenen Prozess der interkulturellen Öffnung heben wir uns in der Region von anderen Trägern ab. -- The JugendSozialwerk Nordhausen e.V. is an independent non-profit organisation recognised in Thuringia and Saxony. As a member of the Joint Welfare Organisation it offers a variety of social services. We support and look after children, adolescents, families, seniors and people with refugee experience and support them with their everyday life. Approximately 1,200 employees do high-quality work in over 80 facilities. Thanks to our longstanding commitment in the field of international work and the associated process of intercultural opening, we stand out from other organisations in the region.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will mainly work on the "Penguin" project. In this project, they will travel together with social workers in a bus to the villages in the Nordhausen district. There they will offer inclusive play activities for the children and young people. They can also support us at school with German lessons and help children with difficulties. Another task will be to help with other projects and be active at festivals. They will also have the opportunity to implement their own project, which they can then try out at school or in our youth hostel.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will live in a shared flat with other volunteers from different countries. Everyone has their own room. Only the bathroom and kitchen are shared. There are good streetcar and bus connections in Nordhausen. Everything is also within walking distance. A bicycle is also available for each volunteer.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will take part in the ESC-Trainings. The Arrival Training and the Midtermmeeting in Germany.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for a volunteer who enjoys working with children and young people and already has experience in this field. They should also have good comprehension skills and be interested in the German language and culture. Living in a shared flat should not be a problem, nor should the cold weather in Germany. Due to the nature of the project, occasional weekend and evening work is not out of the question. Reliability and punctuality are very important to us.
Deadline: Application deadline: 31/03/2024

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).
