💼 What the programme involves
*PLEASE apply by writing an E-Mail to [email protected] !!* As a volunteer, you will assist our partner in their work in the youth centers and will also participate in our mobile youth work programme - a kind of streetwork. Another part of the job are different projects with focus on sports, education, creativity and culture topics. You will also be able to make your own projects, bringing in your own talents. It is also possible to attend trainings and workshops regarding youth work where volunteers can refine skills in social work. In the first line they will support the following work areas:
- working in the youth cafe;
- working behind the bar;
- playing games with the youngsters, communicating and giving advice;
- street work (meeting young people in the streets and local hang-out places, talking to them, informing them about our partner's center and their work),;
- helping with organizing various activities.

ℹ️ Additional information
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).
