About the project

ESC: Supporting the daily lives of children and adolescents in the care of child welfare services ("MECS Saint-Jean")

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Apprentis d’Auteuil is a foundation comprising more than 300 youth centers. Its mission is to welcome, educate, train, and help more than 40,000 at-risk youth find their place in society, as well as to support their families. We help them build self-confidence and open up to the adult world. We develop each young person’s talents and personal skills and help them find their place, both professionally and personally. Your main responsibility will be to provide daily support to young people aged 5 to 20 who are in the care of child protective services. More specifically, you will be responsible for: 

🏠 Accommodation on site

- Leading games / sport and providing homework help for younger children, as well as workshops (cooking, internship searches, daily life, etc.) and cultural outings for teenagers to help them develop skills 

🎒 Leisure activities

- Learning about and participating in the work of an educational team responsible for children or teenagers in the care of child protective service

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).
