About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Please note: You MUST email [email protected] for an application form and Host Project Information! Depaul is a charity that supports vulnerable people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Tus Nua provides accommodation and key services to women leaving the prison system. We aim to give our service users an opportunity to fulfil their potential and move towards an independent and positive future. ESC participants bring a wealth of energy, enthusiasm, culture, experience and knowledge that enhances the service we can provide, building valuable, supportive relationships with our service users. As an ESC participant, you might find yourself organising or getting involved in a variety of different activities aimed at boosting the skills and self-esteem of our service users, while developing your own skills and gaining new experiences.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will have a single room in our volunteer house. The house is located close to the host projects, near the city centre. The house will be shared with five other ESC participants from all over Europe. You will be provided with a pocket money allowance of €100, paid weekly. While meals are not provided, some basics, such as tea, coffee and dried goods are provided to help with food and other basic needs, along with a travel allowance to and from your Host Project.

🎒 Leisure activities

Depaul’s Volunteer Department provides a comprehensive induction, initially for the first two weeks after your arrival in Ireland. During this time, we will tell you all about the organisation, and take you and your fellow participants on a tour of the host projects, and help you to become familiar with the city and our organisation. On-arrival training will be facilitated by the National Agency, and ongoing training will take place throughout the opportunity.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The most important thing our volunteers can do is to bring social interaction into our host projects. We would like you to bring your energy, enthusiasm, culture, experience and knowledge that enhances the service we can provide. You might find yourself organising or getting involved in a variety of different activities aimed at boosting the skills and self-esteem of our service users, while developing your own skills and gaining new experiences. Therefore, flexibility, enthusiasm, motivation, energy and empathy will be very important to you in this role.

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).
