📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Foundation for the Comprehensive Care of Minors, FAIM, is a non-profit and independent entity that works to improve the present and offer opportunities for the future of boys, girls, adolescents, young people and their families, who, for very different reasons, have encountered difficulties in their personal and social development.
Since then, we have managed residential resources for protection and reform, and developing direct management programs, such as the Ariadna Space or the Labor Advice, Ecotopia or Emancipation programs. In addition, we maintain a strategic commitment to the quality of care, professionalism, training and coordination with public administrations and professionals who work with children.
At present, we maintain the focus of our most direct activity in Aragón and La Rioja, within the Spanish state, but we are also in constant contact with different networks of national and international professionals, which allow FAIM to have an outstanding space in the field of conflict and violence during adolescence, with proven professionals in the field of adolescent psychology and the development of work proposals in the socio-educational field.
💼 What the programme involves
The project "Open Space: a Space for Socio-educational and Therapeutic Care" aims to provide comprehensive socio-educational support to adolescents and young people residing in Zaragoza who are participating in some of the intervention projects of the Fundación para la Atención Integral del Menor (FAIM). This population faces various situations of social vulnerability stemming from their current circumstances. These situations are diverse: family and school conflicts, difficulties in accessing the labor market, and mental health issues. The project will primarily focus on providing support to FAIM professionals working with these individuals, as well as accompanying these individuals in the intervention processes that professionals, families, and young people voluntarily agree to participate in.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The accommodation provided by FAIM as a Hosting Organization is located on the third floor of the organization's building. On the lower floors, there are workspaces and offices, as well as intervention areas for adolescents and young people. The third floor is a living space that includes a shared kitchen-dining room, a shared TV room, several bedrooms, two shared toilets, and two shared showers. The bedrooms are single occupancy. Some of them are designated for volunteers, while others are reserved for individuals participating in one of FAIM's intervention programs.
🎒 Leisure activities
FAIM will provide, as part of the volunteer program, specific training for the development of the tasks assigned to the volunteers, related to the intervention with the beneficiaries and their support, as well as on FAIM's working methods. Regarding language learning, it is reminded that a good knowledge of the Spanish language is necessary, as the people you will be working with often speak only this language. If the volunteer considers it necessary to strengthen their language skills, they should use the Online Language Platform according to the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) program guide.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: People with a strong motivation for volunteering and working with young populations who are immersed in situations of social vulnerability. To carry out any activity with this population, high levels of empathy, patience, and humility are necessary. Previous experience and/or training, motivation to learn, and a collective perspective will be positively valued: the ability to work in a team, adherence to the organization's rules and procedures, and the ability to integrate into a project. It is not expected that volunteers will solve any of these individuals' problems. Often, not even collective efforts achieve this. Interested applicants must complete a form. To access it, please contact FAIM via email at [email protected]
