📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

!! Please apply via https://www.icja.de/content/freiwilligendienste/programme/esk-dein-europaeischer-freiwilligendienst !! Maailmanvaihto – ICYE Finland is a non-profit non-governmental organisation working in the field of international volunteering. We organise long-term volunteer work programs for young adults and aim at advancing intercultural understanding, equality and peace. Maailmanvaihto is a member of the International Cultural Youth Exchange (ICYE) Federation, which consists of 41 organisations worldwide. Maailmanvaihto coordinates ICYE and European Solidarity Corps volunteering activities. On a yearly basis, we send about 20–30 volunteers abroad from Finland and receive about 30–40 volunteers to Finland. There are three full-time staff members working at the office: Secretary General, Program Coordinator and Communications Officer. Every year we also have an international volunteer supporting our activities at the office and now we are looking for the next one!

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will stay in a host family or live more independently in home accommodation in the capital area. The lunch will be provided in the form of a lunch allowance and other meals will be provided by the host family. The monthly travel card for the Helsinki area will be covered for the volunteer. The volunteer will have 2 days off per week (mostly Saturday & Sunday) and will gain 2 holiday days each month.

🎒 Leisure activities

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).
