About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Herbie eV has been a recognized independent provider of child and youth welfare services in Leipzig since 1991. We have been a member of the German Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband (German Welfare Association) since 1993.

Our daily work with people is characterized by very high quality, empathy and respectful interaction.

Non-judgmental contact with every child, adolescent, and adult is the crucial interface of our educational work in all our key areas of work. In addition to operating daycare centers in Leipzig, we offer various volunteer services and also work in the area of outpatient and inpatient childcare support. We are also active in a variety of other smaller projects and programs, which we would like to introduce to you here.

💼 What the programme involves

The "Gohliser Höfe" day care centre, which opened in 2020, is located in the middle of a former industrial site. The day care centre has room for 90 children from the age of one year until school entry. Due to the natural science-oriented profile this day care centre creates a stimulating environment that invites them to experiment, research and discover. In this way, the children can develop their creativity and pursue their natural exploratory urge. The proximity to the park also enables the children to discover and explore nature and observe changes. A conscious approach to nature and its resources should also be important.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We provide you with a furnished room in a shared apartment with a shared kitchen and bathroom. You will also receive a financial amount with which you can buy a ticket for the tram in Leipzig. Optionally and if you want , we provide you with a bicycle to explore the city and the surrounding.

🍲 Food

For your meals you will receive a financial allowance.

🎒 Leisure activities

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: As a volunteers place of assignment, we offer volunteers the opportunity to gain first insights into professional childcare. Volunteers can help the children to develop into independent personalities through their work. We see the volunteers as a supporting part of our team, who can gradually take over a variety of tasks independently, whether pedagogical, nursing or housekeeping. We are happy when volunteers enrich our work with their abilities, interests and talents. It would be fine if you bring with you at minimum a basic knoweledge of the german language. And you should bring the following with you: - Motivation - A desire to learn and gain new experiences - Interest in other people - Empathy - Intercultural skills - Openness towards other socialisation backgrounds and world views - Desire to exchange ideas and develop your own personality
Deadline: No application deadline

ℹ️ Additional information

In addition to the National Agency seminars, there is an educational seminar day once a month with your tutor and other volunteers. Here, we exchange information about your work and everyday life and combine this with excursions, educational content or experiential educational activities. In addition, you will receive a language course based on your language level.

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).
