About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We are looking for 2 volunteers in the youth center. Volunteers will have to work with young people aged between 13 and 25, organize various activities such as language training, game nights, cooking classes, sports games and others. Volunteers will be able to play games, hike and do other activities with the youth that could make the lives of local youth more interesting. In their free time, volunteers will be able to travel around Latvia and the Baltic States, see the beautiful nature and enjoy 4 different seasons.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will live near the youth center, in a two-room apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom. It is very close to the volunteering site, so you will be able to walk there and not need transportation. Meals are organized by the volunteers themselves, the organization provides monthly food money.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will be provided with induction and mid-term training by the host organization, where they will be told what to expect from the project and what the learning outcome could be at the end of the project.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The gender of the participant does not matter. The main thing is the desire to work with young people, to teach them something new, to share their culture and the traditions of their country. The volunteer must be active, open and communicative, must know English at conversational level.
Deadline: Application deadline: 06/10/2023

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).
