About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Join us as a volunteer in our day care center “Roku Rokā” for children in the capital of Latvia, Riga. Our center is for children with social risk and a support for their families, as well. After school the children can come to join the daily activities. They can spend leisure time, receive help with their homework and learn various new skills. It can be about household, hygiene, social skills, self-care and many more. We provide a warm meal a day for the children, support with needed clothes and many more. You will join the daily activities with the children and spend quality time with them. Playing games, helping with homework or leading activities can be one of your tasks. Depending on your interest and your initiative the activities you lead can vary. It can be handcrafts, sport activities, cooking or baking together, etc. Every idea is welcome. You will be a support to the team and your initiative makes your own daily routine.

🏠 Accommodation on site

During your stay the accommodation, food and transport expenses will be covered. You will live with the other Erasmus volunteers in an apartment central in Riga. Right now, we have 4 German volunteers and you will probably have to share a room. At your work place you can eat lunch. For all the other meals and also for the transport you have a specific spending limit that you will get back at the end of the month.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for someone who is open to work with children on a daily basis. You should be ready to work with children from social risk also with conspicuous behavior. We are a Church organization which means you should be open minded and respectful about our values but that doesn’t mean that you have to be religious. Due to the fact that we already host 4 German volunteers it will be easier for you if are German or speak German fluently.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
