About the project

ESC: Let's volunteer in Le Créneau

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

️ Driving licence recommended for Le Créneau️ Solidarités Jeunesses (SJ) is a national movement of non-formal education and is composed of a National Secretary (Paris), and eight regional delegations across France. Our delegations host international volunteers. Each regional delegation is unique, but all of the activities organized benefit the local community and share common ground: - gather people from different culture and social background to participate in social, ecological and cultural development. - contribute to the integration of people with fewer opportunities. Each project is dedicated to actions of solidarity and collective living. We believe that cultural exchanges are a key for personal learning and for the volunteer to experiment and undergo personal development.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Le Créneau is located in Montcombroux Vieux Bourg in the Allier department, Auvergne region in the center of France. The site includes a castle, two small towers, a farmyard, a vegetable garden, some other workshops and it is surrounded by the forest. It‘s a very isolated place, situated 6km from the “bigger“ village with shops. As a volunteer you will share a room in the castle together with other volunteers! It is of high importance to commit into daily life, as in a big house-share, because the house will look like its inhabitants, it's your home sweet home for a few months!

🎒 Leisure activities

You will work about 35 hours per week, the work is varied and you will get the support of the staff. We work on : - Renovation of the buildings - Gardening - Organization and participation on the collective life (cooking, cleaning...) - Hosting groups and individuals (mostly in the summer) - Leading workcamps during the summer, you will receive a training for that. Two seminars organized by the French agency and one volunteering meeting with all the volunteers of Solidarités Jeunesses.

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).
