⚠️ Driving licence is mandatory for Le Faï ⚠️
Solidarités Jeunesses (SJ) is a national movement of non-formal education and is composed of a National Secretary based in Paris, and eight regional delegations across France. Each delegation is unique, but all of the activities organized benefit the local community and share common ground: to gather people from different culture and social background to participate in social, ecological and cultural development on the local level and to 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 offers to the volunteer a valuable opportunity to learn, to experiment and to undergo personal development.
Dates are flexible for this project.
