🏢 About the local organisation

Adana Provincial Directorate of Youth and Sports is the only public institution operating in the field of sports and youth in our city. Our institution serves people between the ages of 04-70. It has 5 youth centers and 12 youth offices. The areas of activity of our youth centers are to plan, implement and finalize activities together with young people so that they can spend their free time in the best possible way. There are 68,235 registered members in the 13-29 age group in our youth centers and youth offices. As an institution, we plan sports activities, free courses, seminars and trips for young people's free time outside of school, and our aim is to ensure their physical and social development by organizing camps and camps according to the interests, desires and age groups of young people. Permanent, contracted and EYT coaches working in our institution provide sports training provided by our Provincial Directorate and train athletes in our facilities in accordance with the activities of sports federations.

💼 What the programme involves

Together for an Inclusive Future is a European Solidarity Corps project aiming to promote social inclusion, human rights, intercultural dialogue and environmental awareness among young people. Through volunteering activities, non-formal education and community-based actions, the project supports young people with fewer opportunities and strengthens solidarity, active citizenship and European values in the local community.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in shared apartments/host family houses located in the city center. The accommodation will be fully furnished and equipped with all necessary facilities such as a kitchen, bathroom, washing machine, internet connection and basic household items. Volunteers will stay in single, double or triple rooms, depending on availability. All accommodations will ensure a safe, comfortable and inclusive living environment, respecting privacy and cultural diversity.

🎒 Leisure activities

During the opportunity, volunteers will participate in continuous on-the-job training and non-formal learning activities. They will receive task-related training, language support, and thematic workshops on social inclusion, human rights, intercultural dialogue, migration and environmental sustainability. Regular mentoring sessions will be organised to support their personal and professional development, learning outcomes and well-being.

⚠️ Requirements

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).
