📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The role of the volunteers will be to organize, help with the organization and improve the quality of life in Europe4Youth Central office and Youth centers. With a daily routine that will include working as a team of 6 volunteers in our central office in Krakow and taking care of the daily shifts in our youth centers supported by the coordinators of E4Y, the volunteers will organize, lead and experience activities and events related to the world of Youth working in all it’s shapes. The events mentioned above will be of different nature, based on the volunteers' interests and passions, and organized accordingly to needs. From language classes to art events, from Board games to Sports, as long as the educational part related to Youth info will be there, the volunteers will be able to express them self as they prefer. The volunteers will also be able to join the other activities of the organization and grow as Youth workers at 360°.

🏠 Accommodation on site

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).
