About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Armenian Progressive Youth (APY) is a non-profit, non-political organization aiming to support, inspire and engage young people from Armenia and all over the world to develop their social leadership skills, to take their civic responsibility and to act as change-makers. APY has recently established a new Youth Center in Yerevan which is part of the global Planet One initiative present in 3 European and 3 African countries. In this space young activists and climate-engaged youth can run their projects and campaigns, produce materials and arrange meetings and events. The space is flexible and designed by young people, for young people. We will provide space for everything from small-scale solar projects to large global climate campaigns. We expect ESC volunteers to participate, support in the organization of different activities at our new centre as well as initiate their own. More information: https://apy.am

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be accommodated in a private furnished room with a kitchenette in an international dormitory. The volunteers will receive pocket money, food allowance and transport costs as part of the ESC program. Armenian language course will be offered to volunteers to ensure their quick integration, as well as a mentor, who is a former ESC/Erasmus+ participants from the network of the organisation. There will be team meetings, monthly deep-dive sessions and capacity building activities, offered by the hosting organisation.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers are expected to participate in the daily work of the APY's Youth Center, helping staff members and youth workers to carry out the activities program for adolescents and young people aged 13-30. The learning possibilities for volunteers include: - Support and development of the environmental activities, initiation of their own workshops and seminars; - Learning and helping to develop activities in regions on environmental activism and youth work; - Organising linguistic workshops for children and young people; - Content creation for social media and website; - Promoting ESC.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The Volunteers will be engaged in many youth activities on various topics to give a chance to a volunteer to understand in which way they can self-realise and meet their personal and professional learning goals. Most of the volunteering work will be, however, focused on supporting environmental activities of the center. This is why we would like to host volunteers who are interested in promoting eco-friendly lifestyle and environmental protection in Europe, exchanging their own knowledge and country experience in the field and have a good command of English.
