💼 What the programme involves

Latitude Jeunes (LJ) is a non-profit organisation which aims to contribute to the physical, mental and social wellbeing of children and youngsters. LJ creates spaces for small children, youth and parents, provides after-school care for children and youth, organizes workshops in schools on various themes, such as addiction, social security, democracy, gender, managing one’s image in social networks, food, sustainable development etc. Also it is a place for children and youngsters to spend their free time playing games and socializing. The volunteer will be involved in LJ’s daily life, helping to create and organise different activities for children and youth, as well as participating in animation and holiday camps, helping out in the library, after school homeworks support and so on. It is also important that the volunteer brings their own idea.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will be sharing an accomodation with other housemates, in the city of Liège. They will have their own bedroom and will share the others areas. Food and pocket money is provided every month to the volunteer, who has to manage their budget by themselves. The accommodation and the place where the volunteering takes place are close to each other, and therefore reachable by walking, by bus or by bike.

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).
