📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
We are a leisure time centre in Náchod, Czech republic. There are more than 100 clubs that we run for about 1000 children and youth aged 6-15 coming here to spend their free time after school actively. Sport clubs, esthetic clubs, nature science clubs, dancing clubs etc. Volunteers assist at the clubs and lessons, after some time he/she has the possibility to lead a club on his own. We also cooperate with local primary schools and high schools, so the volunteer has the opportunity to become a part of the lesson, lead conversation in english or his/her native language. There are also placements for a volunteer in an alternative nursery school for little children aged 2-6. Apart of that through the year we organise big events, so the volunteers participate on event management and preparation. All together there is about 20 volunteers, so it is very international but as Nachod is a city of 20 000 inhabitants, it is very local at the same time. Welcome and join us! :-) EU only. Thank you
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation: Each volunteer has his/her own room which is fully furnished. The volunteers have a shared bathroom and a shared kitchen, both fully equipped (washing machine, fridge, microwave, stove, electric kettle, dishes and cuttlery). Internet connection is provided in the volunteer flats.
Food
The volunteers will receive money for their food.
Local transport
All travel costs that are work or ESC related will be refunded. In Náchod itself everything is walking distance. We also provide bikes.
🎒 Leisure activities
The coordinator of volunteers is the main reference figure for the volunteer. Especially during the first weeks of volunteering the coordinator stays in close touch with the volunteers in order to facilitate their integration into the organisation. Regular meetings with the coordinator and the staff should prevent any possible misunderstandings.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profil: We expect an active, comparably independent, creative and adaptable young person able to work in a team. We do not require any previous experience in working with children and youth, however, we do want the volunteer to be interested in such work.
Working with children and youth requires the volunteer to be able to communicate patiently, his/her positive attitude to children and specific social abilities such as open-mindedness, empathy, tolerance and cooperation.
