About the project

ESC: Hands-on Logistics Volunteer

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Join us at Ananda Kalyani** and develop your hands-on skills by taking care of the daily logistics that allow the project to run smoothly. You will for instance be involved in stock management, transport and distribution of people and goods, supply chain management, and shopping project purchasing needs. Imagine going through the day while you provide rides to community members, take care of the cars, transport heavy materials and objects, monitor what products should be bought for the project as you keep an eye on stock such as cleaning and bedding material, keep track of incoming task requests from other teams and act upon them, and distribute delivered packages to the concerned members. Expect a variety of tasks that require you to be sharp, present, and efficient.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be provided accommodation in one of the community houses, sharing a room with one or more fellow volunteers. The rooms are equipped with the basic comforts such as a bed, sleeping bags, pillow, and light. If preferred, there is also the option to camp with a tent on the land in the warmer seasons. Food: a local team prepares the food for the community (lunch and dinner) according to the Sattvic diet. There is a self service policy for breakfast. Throughout the whole day there is a tea table with tea, coffee, and fruits. Rides will be provided if needed among the community.

🎒 Leisure activities

As a volunteer, you will be mentored, coached and trained in your role from the concerning coordinator, through direct guidance and through learning by doing. Daily tasks will require your communication skills in English. At last, the nourishing and at the same time challenging surroundings invite you to grow and expand as a person, along with a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing tools.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Someone who: resonates strongly with the values, vision and mission of Ananda Kalyani; is committed to working as environmentally sustainable as possible; has the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, prioritise activities and meet deadlines efficiently; is able to quickly identify potential problems and find creative solutions to overcome them; enjoys collaborating with others as a team; has an eye for detail to ensure that all logistics processes are executed accurately; is intrinsically motivated to be of service and brings a go-getter attitude.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
What do we provide ?

  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food

  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
