💼 What the programme involves
2 volunteering offers in North West of France
The “Conseil départemental de la Manche” is a local government located in the Normandy region in north-western France. We are looking for 2 strong motivated volunteers to support our youth assembly called the Youth Council (“Conseil Départemental des Jeunes”) for 10 months between September 2022 and June 2022. The Youth Council is an assembly of “junior delegates” (60 maximum) who are between 11 and 15 years old. The Youth Council was launched at the end of 2018 to prepare teenagers to become citizens and to take an active role in the local community. The participants develop and implement at least four projects of their choosing during a period of 2 years. For this purpose, they are divided into the following four thematic committees : entrepreneurship and work, living well together, a digital world, environment and biodiversity. You will support the first year of the Youth Council.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Activities take place in Saint-Lô (about 19 000 inhabitants). You will be in a host family during the first two weeks of the volunteering activities in order to adjust to the new environment. Later you will share a big furnished flat with other volunteers near the city centre. The volunteering activity is free of charge for the volunteer. You will receive stated pocket money each month (6 €/day) to cover day-to-day living expenses and support for return travel to and from the project, a medical and house insurance, a bus pass, and up to 40€/month for travelling during free time.
🎒 Leisure activities
- ESC training sessions for volunteers

- Facilitation training (facilitation tools, facilitation skills in working with teenagers, good practices to handle disruptive behaviour and accompany the participants in their projects)
- French language lessons and registration fee for a French Certification exam if the volunteer so wished

⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profil: We are looking for a volunteer with energy, enthusiasm, sociability and creativity. The volunteer has to be interested in education and citizenship, be attentive with young people and having good inter-personal skills. No diploma or language level will be required, but communication skills in French (B1 or B2 level) would be greatly appreciated in order to directly interact with young French people. The volunteer should preferably have a valid driver's license because travelling throughout the Manche region can be required. Don't hesitate to send us a Europass CV and a motivation letter!
