About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

CPMGA is a feminist organization committed to the full realization of women's rights. The volunteer supports various activities, including: the development of educational and informational materials; providing logistical support for training on the prevention and treatment of violence; the systematization of the outcomes of training processes and evaluations; supporting the creation of networks and the engagement of beneficiaries and communities; accompaniment in cases of violence against women, with monitoring and support for reporting processes led by women survivors; systematization of the cases and preparation of related reports; the collection of life stories of women who have experienced violence. The volunteer service will take place at the El Alto office, from Monday to Friday, and if necessary, on weekends, with occasional travel. The volunteer will work 35 hours per week, with two days off per month, and will always be supported by the organization’s staff.

🏠 Accommodation on site

CPMGA offers accommodation with a private room for the volunteer. CPMGA will ensure basic services such as water, energy, and internet. The accommodation will be located in a residential area of La Paz, facilitating access to El Alto, where the CPMGA office is located, via the cable car. The commute from the accommodation to the office takes approximately one hour. The area is safe and close to medical services, supermarkets, and recreational areas, ensuring comfort and well-being during the stay. Additionally, options for vegetarians and vegans are available.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will learn through hands-on experience how to support women who have experienced violence and will become familiar with procedures for guidance and accompaniment. They will gain certified language skills (OLS) and develop intercultural and listening skills, problem-solving, humanitarian awareness, organizational and time management abilities, and autonomy in mobility. They will also understand how a Bolivian NGO works, its structure, methodologies, and feminist, community-based approach. All competences will be certified through Youthpass.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for a person with skills to work in a team, listen, and dialogue effectively, with a strong attitude towards volunteering, open to working in intercultural and intersectional contexts, both in rural and urban areas. It is essential that the participant promotes feminism and values of justice and solidarity by supporting women in the prevention and guidance in cases of violence. Preferred education includes defense of women's rights, psychology, social work, with knowledge in human rights and/or gender. Experience in similar organizations is preferred.
Deadline: 30/05/2025 23:00

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).
