About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Drivhuset is a part of the Municipality of Åmål that works with youths from age 16 to 25, who are currently unemployed or in need of other support. These youths may also be in contact with several authorities at the same time. At Drivhuset, youths have meetings, get advice on work, studies or be part of social activities. Drivhuset maintains contact with young people who need continued support after graduating high school. The volunteers will meet with these youths to socialise with them and be an extra resource for the staff. Volunteers will also do activities with participants. The aim of Drivhuset is to help youths coordinate the efforts around them and support them on their way to being self-sufficient. Having volunteers is a way to promote the European Solidarity Corps and by doing so adding an alternative for the youths in the process of establishing themselves on the labour market. The volunteer will also support other parts of the municipality that Drivhuset cooperates with.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will share a centrally located apartment with two other volunteers. It has a private bedroom for each person and a shared kitchen, bathroom and living room. The apartment is equipped with Wi-fi and a TV. The project lasts 12 months and the volunteer will have two holiday days off each month, in addition to the Swedish bank holidays. The volunteer gets monthly pocket money and food allowance to buy and cook his/her own food. Åmål is a small town where everything is within walking distance and the volunteer will get a bike to use as well.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will participate in an on-arrival training and a mid-term training in Stockholm held by the National Agency in Sweden and meet volunteers from other Swedish projects. Possibilities to partake in digital trainings via Salto Youth might also be an option.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Drivhuset are looking for a volunteer who is interested in working with people, who is outgoing and empathetic. Since the volunteer will create activities for the participants and come up with new ideas for reaching them, it is important that the volunteer likes to be creative, active and that they have an understanding of people with fewer opportunities in the way to approach them and interact with them. If you are interested in this position, please send us an email with your CV and motivational letter: [email protected]. Interviews will be ongoing so do not wait with your application!

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).
