About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The hosting entity is a big youth care organization. It needs a volunteer who can join its technical support team. You'll work in three locations where a lot of youngsters resides: they are boys and girls having difficulties in social skills and learning possibilities, or suffer for social or mental problems, and this is why they don’t live any more in their families. Helping the hosting organization on the technical side is a way to support it in giving these adolescents a better life: it is another way to express and make concrete your spirit of solidarity. You’ll join the workers who maintain the gardens, clean living spaces, meeting rooms and toilets, and provide the colleges with technical support in several tasks like replacing lamps, painting walls, moving furnitures. The technical support team works using a central registration system of the various necessities: every week a schedule is prepared that points out the various interventions that need to be done.

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).
