📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Don Bosco Rijswijk is a multi cultural youth center, located close by the well known city of The Hague, in a green area in Rijswijk. The center works with children and youths from different backgrounds for more than half a century. We welcome 7000 to 8000 young and elderly visitors per year. We have a varied array of activities for children and youths with a special focus on free time activities and non-formal education. We also create opportunities and organize activities for the neighborhood so that people can meet each other and share experiences in a safe and fun community. Our way of working is inspired and based on the pedagogy of Giovanni Bosco, whose values are responsibility, open communication and the feeling of being at home, both for children and workers. Volunteers are included in everyday life of the organization. Volunteers are preparing and developing activities as well as creating new programs within a team of professionals, Dutch and international volunteers.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You live in a group of maximum 4 volunteers in a house with all basic equipments. Food money and pocket money are provided. We arrange a bike to transport yourself from work to home.
🎒 Leisure activities
We offer Dutch lessons, workshops about the Don Bosco vision, working with children, communication and other relevant skills.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: For the short term project in Rijswijk we keep the background of the volunteer candidates as open as possible so that all young people (age 18-30), especially unemployed and with fewer opportunities (social and economic difficulties) could easily take part in this project. Volunteers are expected to work with other team members to carry out the program. Speaking and understanding a basic level of English is required. We would like to welcome people who are motivated to work with children and peers.
