The Political Youth Association Dresden (PJR Dresden, for its name in german) is a registered association for political youth welfare. Our goal is to offer a variety of sociopolitical learning opportunities, especially for young people between the ages of 10 and 30. We want to spark interest in social dynamics by making social structures and decision-making processes more interesting and transparent for adolescents. PJR Dresden is acting above party lines and as a nonpartisan organization. We offer opportunities for volunteers to try out different things, take over responsibilities and make experiences that will last a life time. Two professional pedagogical employees are there to support them with their ideas and tasks.
💼 What the programme involves
PJR Dresden offers an european volunteer the possibility of incorporating her-/himself up to twelve months in the organization’s work of civic education. The volunteer will support us in our wide range of projects which consist of educational projects in formal as well as in informal settings, educational trips to political institutions and memorial sites and international youth exchanges mainly with countries from Eastern Europe. Tasks will be investigation of political and historical topics, the creation of educational material, help in the logistics and management of our projects and the realization of educational projects with the kids and youngsters. The volunteer will be encouraged and supported in the creation and realization of an own project. Hence we offer opportunities for volunteers to take over responsibilities, take part in the political socialization of kids and youngsters and besides that also to dedicate themselves to own ideas.
🏠 Accommodation on site
We will help the volunteer in finding a flat / room in an apartment (maybe shared one with other young people). Travel tickets will be bought by the volunteer in consultation with us. The volunteer will be equipped with a monthly ticket for public transport. Money for food will be paid on a monthly base to the volunteer (approx. 8 € / day).
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteer is going to have an own working place in the office. A Tutor is going to give him instructions and is going to help him/her with his tasks. Furthermore we want to present him/her a mentor for more personal issues and crisis situations. There will be regular evaluation talks - based on a learning agreement that has been signed before the start of the project - between volunteer and his/her tutor. In the office there will also work a long-term volunteer of a regional program which gives the opportunity for joint projects and activities.

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).
What do we provide ?
Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
