📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Der Sportverein Grambke Oslebshausen (https://www.svgo-bremen.de/) wurde 1894 gegründet. Wir sind ortansässig in Gröpelingen in den Ortteilen Oslebshausen und Grambke. In beiden Ortsteilen gibt es Quartiere mit einem erhöhten Förderbedarf, sogenannte Ankunfts- und Integrationsquartiere, die besonders neu zugezogenen Menschen ein Zuhause bieten. Auch im benachbarten Stadtteil Gröpelingen gibt es ein solches großes Quartier. Wir haben mehrere festangestellte Trainer*innen und Pädagog*innen. Unser Verein wird ehrenamtlich geleitet und ist eine anerkannte gemeinnützige Einrichtung. Der Verein verfügt über eine eigene große Sportanlage mit einer Dreifachhalle, Fitnessraum, Tanzsaal und mehreren Außenplätzen. Wir nutzen weiterhin fünf öffentliche Hallen in beiden Ortsteilen. Wir haben ca. 2.000 Mitglieder und davon sind ca. 700 Kinder und Jugendliche. Wir bieten insgesamt 20 Sportarten an. Für Kinder und Jugendliche bieten wir Fußball, Handball, Floorball, Badminton, Judo, Karate, Boxen, Fitness, Zirkus, Parkour, Klettern, Segeln, Kinderturnen und Eltern-Kind-Turnen. Unsere Beiträge betragen monatlich € 8,00 für Kinder und Jugendliche und für Erwachsene € 15,00. Für einige Sportarten gibt es geringe Zusatzbeiträge von bis zu € 2,50. Der Fitnessraum für Jugendliche kostet zusätzlich € 5,00. Wir haben allerdings auch mehrere offene Angebote, die für Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene kostenlos sind, unter anderem beim Kindersport, im Fitnessbereich, beim Zirkus/Akrobatik und beim Klettern. Wir kooperieren mit vielen Einrichtungen vor Ort. Wir arbeiten u.a. mit drei Kindergärten, drei Grundschulen, zwei Oberschulen, zwei Jugendfreizeitheimen, Kultur vor Ort, Gröpelinger Marketing und dem Bürgerhaus Oslebshausen zusammen. Wir organisieren mehrere große Veranstaltungen. Unter anderem das größte Laternenlaufen Bremens, die Abenteuer-Familientage, Feriencamps mit den verschiedensten Inhalten, das Oslebshauser Dorffest, Adventsgala usw. Bei uns können Hartz IV-Empfänger kostenlos den Fitnessraum nutzen. Außerdem bekommen Kinder mit dem Bremen-Pass den Vereinsbeitrag vom Jobcenter erstattet. Weiterhin kann der Beitrag auf Antrag zum Teil oder auch ganz erlassen werden. Laut unserer Satzung sind wir konfessionsfrei und nicht politisch ausgerichtet. - - - - ENGLISH VERSION The Grambke Oslebshausen Sports Club (https://www.svgo-bremen.de/) was founded in 1894. We are located in Gröpelingen in the districts of Oslebshausen and Grambke. In both districts there are neighborhoods with an increased need for support, so-called arrival and integration neighborhoods, which offer a home especially to newly arrived people. There is also such a large neighborhood in the neighboring district of Gröpelingen. We have several permanent trainers and educators. Our association is run by volunteers and is a recognized non-profit organization. The association has its own large sports facility with a triple hall, fitness room, dance hall and several outdoor courts. We continue to use five public halls in both parts of town. We have about 2,000 members and about 700 of them are children and youth. We offer a total of 20 sports. For children and teenagers we offer soccer, handball, floorball, badminton, judo, karate, boxing, fitness, circus, parkour, climbing, sailing, children's gymnastics and parent-child gymnastics. Our monthly fees are € 8,00 for children and teenagers and € 15,00 for adults. For some sports there are small additional fees of up to € 2,50. The fitness room for teenagers costs an additional € 5,00. However, we also have several open offers that are free for children, teenagers and adults, including children's sports, fitness, circus/acrobatics and climbing. We cooperate with many local institutions. We work with three kindergartens, three elementary schools, two high schools, two youth recreation centers, Kultur vor Ort, Gröpelinger Marketing and the Oslebshausen community center, among others. We organize several large events. Among other things, the largest lantern run in Bremen, the Adventure Family Days, vacation camps with a wide variety of content, the Oslebshausen Village Festival, Advent Gala, etc. Hartz IV recipients can use the fitness room free of charge. In addition, children with the Bremen Pass get the club fee reimbursed by the Jobcenter. Furthermore, the membership fee can be waived in part or in full upon request. According to our statutes, we are non-denominational and not politically oriented.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers should offer open activities in the field of ball sports, circus and dancing in two residential areas with a high percentage of migrants. We would like to run daily offers after an initial orientation phase of one to two months. We also have a great openness in which direction the offers are designed and on which target group the focus is. We would be happy if the offers addressed residents of different ages, but also offers only for children and young people would already be an important contribution. The wishes of the participants should be included in the design, so the commitment also includes communication with the residents. The volunteers are supported by experienced and competent persons. Our association provides all sports materials.The volunteers get to know the employment field of social work and are strengthened in their own work organization, including time management.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will be accommodated in single rooms in a furnished apartment. The apartment is located in one of the two neighbourhoods where the activities are to take place, and in the immediate vicinity of our association's office and sports facilities. The apartment has an equipped kitchen where the volunteers can prepare their own meals. They receive a lump sum for their meals. We pay them monthly tickets for public transport, which are valid for the state of Bremen and neighbouring communities in Lower Saxony.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Volunteers should be interested in teaching sports activities and be active in sports themselves. A wide range of experience in various areas of movement, games, dance and sport is welcome. Openness towards people with different social and cultural backgrounds is required.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
