📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

To apply, kindly visit https://maailmanvaihto.fi/en/volunteer-in-finland/esc-available-projects for the application form and further information. Please note that applications cannot be submitted through this portal. Are you interested in learning more about the activities of a youth exchange organisation? Would you enjoy making social media content? Are you interested in participating in other communication tasks, too? Welcome to volunteer at Maailmanvaihto – ICYE Finland! Maailmanvaihto is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to international volunteering. We organise long-term volunteer programs for young adults and work to promote intercultural understanding, equality, and peace. The volunteer will support the office staff by participating especially in external communication work of the organisation – informing young people about the volunteering possibilities and building visibility for the volunteer co-operation and learning that takes place.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will either stay with a host family or live independently in home accommodation in the Helsinki metropolitan area. Lunch will be provided through a lunch allowance, and other meals will be arranged by the host family. A monthly public transport card for the Helsinki area will also be covered. The volunteer will have two days off per week (usually Saturday and Sunday) and will receive two vacation days per month.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will have an on-arrival training camp and mid-term evaluation camp organised by the Finnish National Agency of the European Solidarity Corps. The volunteer will get access to the Online Language Support (OLS) tool of the European Solidarity Corps to support learning Finnish.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: This volunteering position is ideal for someone interested in communications – particularly social media and video content – and eager to learn more about international volunteering and working in an NGO. We are looking for a responsible and well-organised person with strong teamwork and communication skills. Good English skills are an asset for this role. The ideal volunteer is proactive, ready to take on different tasks, eager to learn and apply their skills, and willing to share new ideas. Please note that due to the tight schedule the position is for a young person who doesn't need a residence permit to Finland.
Deadline: 06/03/2025 12:00

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).

  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
