You will engage youngsters in meaningful dialogue to broaden their horizons and help them practice English. You’ll also act as a cultural ambassador, sharing your unique heritage and language with the community. Behind the scenes, you will ensure the center remains a safe, clean, and professional environment through administrative support and facility maintenance.

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).
