About the project

ESC: Geysir Clubhouse

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

!! Please apply via https://www.icja.de/content/freiwilligendienste/programme/esk-dein-europaeischer-freiwilligendienst !! Geysir Clubhouse is a place where people with a mental illness come to rebuild their lives. The participants are called members, not patients, and the focus is on their strengths, not their illness. Work in the clubhouse provides the core healing process. Every opportunity provided is the result of the efforts of the members and staff who work side by side in a unique partnership. One of the most important steps members take towards greater independence is transitional employment where they work in the community in real jobs. Members also receive assistance in securing housing, advancing their education, obtaining good psychiatric and medical care as well as maintaining public benefits.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will live in a flat in Reykjavík with other AUS volunteers. The volunteer will have breakfast and lunch in the project, and get additional food allowance to cover the rest of his/her meals. The volunteer will get a certain amount of pocket money, every month.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will receive an On-Arrival-Training at the beginning and a Mid-Term-Evaluation after half of their time.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Volunteer's tasks: The volunteer will be asked to assist the staff and members of the Clubhouse to carry out various tasks within the organization. Tasks include helping in the kitchen, assisting in planning activities, helping with administration, repair work, etc. The role of the volunteer will be based on his/her strength and interest. There is a lot of variety in the work at Geysir Clubhouse and the possibilities for the volunteer to bring in his/her ideas and abilities
Deadline: Application deadline: 15/06/2024

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).
