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 years old and currently without employment or in need of other support. These youths may also be in contact with several authorities at the same time. At Drivhuset the youths can have meetings, get advice on work, studies or be part of social activities. Drivhuset maintain 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 for the 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 their process of establishing themselves on the labour market. The volunteer will also support the Family Centre once a week.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will share a centrally located apartment with two other volunteers. It has a private bedroom for each of them 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 days off a month, additionally 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
