About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

COCAT is looking for volunteers to join our ESC project and provide support across the incoming, outgoing, and ESC areas. Volunteers will assist with the back-office tasks involved in hosting international volunteers in Catalonia, sending Catalan volunteers abroad, and promoting international mobility and long-term voluntary service opportunities at both local and international levels. Key responsibilities include: Promoting international voluntary service and creating promotional materials. Participating in informative sessions and training workshops. Updating COCAT’s blog and social media channels. Managing administrative tasks and supporting daily operations in the COCAT office in Barcelona. Volunteers will gain hands-on experience in international youth mobility projects while working closely with a motivated team in a dynamic office environment.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be responsible for finding accommodation in Barcelona, with COCAT providing support and guidance if needed. Depending on the rent of the chosen apartment, additional organizational support will be provided to cover food and transportation expenses. Barcelona is a vibrant and dynamic city, but its size, fast pace, and high cost of living can feel overwhelming at first. Newcomers may initially feel a bit lonely, and finding affordable accommodation can be really challenging. We will help volunteers settle in and ensuring a smooth start.

🎒 Leisure activities

At the start of their placement, volunteers will participate in the ESC “Welcome Training”, which provides an introduction to the program and prepares them for their tasks. Later, they will take part in the “Mid-term Evaluation” training to reflect on their experience and further develop their skills. Additionally, volunteers will receive specific training tailored to the area they will be supporting in COCAT’s office, ensuring they are fully prepared for their responsibilities.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for volunteers who are highly motivated, proactive, and passionate about youth and voluntary projects. Ideal candidates will have experience in volunteering and back-office tasks, a good command of English, and an understanding that the role involves significant administrative responsibilities. Additional assets that will be positively valued include: Participation in workcamps or other international youth projects (youth exchanges, training courses, camp leaders...). Knowledge of Spanish and a willingness to learn Catalan. Interest or experience in communication and social media. Ability to work with foreign languages. This is an excellent opportunity for volunteers who enjoy combining administrative work with promoting international youth mobility and engaging with a diverse, international team.

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).
