💼 What the programme involves
Roots zet zich in om het middenveld toegankelijk te maken voor iedereen.

Roots wil als organisatie de drijvende kracht zijn in het groeitraject van al haar leden en ervoor zorgen dat iedereen de kansen en mogelijkheden van het organisatieleven kan plukken. We ondersteunen 100-tal jeugdorganisaties in Vlaanderen en Brussel met vormingen, activiteiten en netwerk momenten.

🏠 Accommodation on site
Er wordt een budget vrijgemaakt voor een accommodatie in of rond Stad Antwerpen. Afhankelijk van de noden van de vrijwilliger en de mogelijkheden is het mogelijk om een studio te huren, aan co-housing te doen of bij een gastgezin te verblijven.
De vrijwilliger krijgt een budget voor eten (+-300€)en een zakgeld conform het subsidieprogramma.
Vrijwilligers ontvangen per kwartaal een lijn pas voor 10-ritten, éénmalig een rail pas voor 10 treinritten en een fiets voor dagdagelijkse verplaatsing.
🎒 Leisure activities
Een pre-departure training in eigen land georganiseerd door de zendorganisatie.
Een on-arrival training en mid-term training georganiseerd door de nationale agentschap (Jint).
Daarnaast is er de mogelijkheid om lokale vormingen mee te volgen rond jeugdwerk en podcasting.
De vrijwilliger kan de eerste maanden job shadowing doen binnen Roots en wordt nadien verder ondersteund door de collegas.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: Vrijwilliger kan Nederlands spreken en of is bereid om Nederlands te leren omdat de meeste van onze jeugdwerker binnen onze lidorganisties Engels spreekt. Diversiteit is een kern aspect van Roots en er wordt verwacht dat de vrijwilliger kan omgaan met diversiteit. We zoeken iemand die enthousiast is en die zelfstandig aan de slag kan gaan. Roots heeft een zelfsturende team waar elk collega de vrijheid krijgt binnen de kader van onze beleidsplannen om de lidorganisaties te ondersteunen. Daarom is het belangrijk om zelf intiatief te nemen en zelfstandig te zijn. Ervaring met jeugdwerk is +punt

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.

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).
