About the project
ESC: Male Educator for Local Youth Needed | Project in Poland
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Our partner association was founded in 2014 in Rzeszow by a group of international friends who had collaborated on various initiatives. With backgrounds in the third sector, extensive volunteer experience, and roles as project coordinators and organization managers, they decided to establish their own association. The organization's mission is to promote the belief that international initiatives contribute to the development and progress of communities. Their initiatives primarily focus on the personal development and education of young people in the Podkarpackie province, along with educators, teachers, activists, and representatives from other NGOs. They also offer activities for migrants in the city and host community events in Rzeszów. Currently, our partner employs three full-time and three part-time staff members and collaborates with a network of trainers and facilitators. They frequently host both short-term and long-term volunteers through the European Solidarity Corps program. The organization operates from its own facility on the first floor of the west wing of Rzeszow's main train station, featuring a multifunctional space with a training room, five offices, and a hostel accommodating up to 20 guests in seven rooms.
💼 What the programme involves

📍 About the location
Rzeszów, located in southeastern Poland, is a vibrant city with a rich historical heritage. Founded in the 13th century, it has thrived as a cultural, economic, and educational center over the centuries. Today, it is known for its renowned universities and cosmopolitan atmosphere. In the nonprofit sector, Rzeszów is home to many organizations engaged in various fields such as education, community development, promotion of culture and art, as well as social assistance. These associations play a vital role in the city's life by offering diverse programs and services to meet the needs of the local population.
🎒 Leisure activities
À Rzeszów, vous pouvez explorer le riche patrimoine historique de la ville en visitant des sites tels que le château des Lubomirski, la vieille ville pittoresque et la cathédrale gothique. Vous pouvez également profiter de la scène culturelle dynamique en assistant à des concerts, des expositions d'art et des représentations théâtrales dans les nombreux théâtres et galeries de la ville. Pour les amateurs de plein air, les parcs et jardins publics offrent des espaces verts pour se détendre et se ressourcer.

Enfin, vous pouvez vous impliquer dans des activités associatives en participant à des événements communautaires, des programmes de bénévolat ou des projets de développement local.
⚠️ Requirements
The participant profile: the volunteers are required to submit their CV and motivation statement exclusively through the European Youth Portal; our partner does not review applications via email. A minimum B1 English level is required. To increase their chances of advancing to the next stage, volunteers should provide a unique motivation statement detailing how they envision their role at INPRO, leveraging their skills and competencies instead of using pre-generated content. Additionally, a male youth educator is specifically sought to ensure suitable shared housing arrangements due to existing accommodation availability.
Application deadline: 26/04/2024.
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).
