Fougères has a rich associative network if the volunteer wishes, and depending on their interests, they can decide to become a member of an association (sport, culture etc ).

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for someone who shows a strong desire to communicate, to exchange, and to learn. To us, it seems essential that the volunteer is able to take the initiative, to encourage activities and to propose workshops. Basic knowledge in French would be a plus. No drivers license needed. You should know:The Fablab is a space to exchange ideas and participate in conversation with the guests. As Fougères is a smaller city,you will encounter a lot of people who speak little to no English, so it is nice to have a basic knowledge of French in order to interact with the community.
Deadline: 15/09/2025 00:00

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).
