About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Dynamo International is a youth service dedicated to individuals aged 13 to 25. Our primary goal is to provide support to young people in this age range, addressing the various questions and challenges they may face, whether in academics, family dynamics, or societal interactions. Additionally, our expertise lies in facilitating mobility and assisting them in realizing their projects in Belgium or abroad. This may involve organizing camps, youth exchanges, CES, working holidays, and more. As a volunteer, your responsibilities will include participating in and coordinating weekly socio-cultural activities, organizing camps, and potentially facilitating youth exchanges within Belgium. You will also contribute to raising awareness to promote the association and its projects, actively engaging in the promotion of Dynamo International's initiatives through social media channels. Your creative input and innovative contributions to our activities will be highly encouraged and valued.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will leave in an apartment/houseshare. Your living include a private room, while the kitchen, bathroom, and living room will be communal spaces. At the beginning of each month, you will receive allowance for food and personal expenses. A public transport annual ticket will be provided. There may be instances where your volunteering responsibilities extend to unsociable hours or weekends. The role is 35h per week, and you will be entitled to your month leave. You should advise us of any medical conditions that might impact your ability to volunteer effectively.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: You are between 18 and 25 years old and possess a creative and open-minded mindset, coupled with a natural curiosity, sociability, and dynamism. Your enthusiasm lies in exploring new experiences, and you particularly enjoy collaborating with young individuals, especially those facing fewer opportunities. Your background includes previous experience in animating and engaging with youngsters. Proficiency in French is preferred, or you are driven and prepared to learn, acknowledging the potential challenges. As for the project dates, it would start around October 1st and run until early April, for about 27 weeks. We’ve also applied for an additional grant that could allow us to extend the project. So if everything goes well and the volunteer is happy, there’s a chance we could consider a longer stay, depending on the outcome of that funding.
Deadline: 27/07/2025 17:51

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).
