📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Young Folks LV, a youth non-governmental organization from Riga, would like to host three volunteers with the main aim of strengthening and promoting social inclusion and European integration within the organization, local community, and also on a national level by facing various local challenges - developing a proactive youth community both at Young Folks, local community and in Latvia. With the help of foreign volunteers, the youngsters in the Latvian community will be able to learn about solidarity, and democracy, be more unified, and as well gain new competencies for personal, educational, social, cultural and professional development and in general more involved in proactive activities locally. In the project, we are preferably looking for volunteers from any European country to work in the following fields: -marketer, copywriter, SMM -youth worker, working with teenagers and young adults -office manager

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will share the apartment specially rented for them in Riga city center, near to Young Folks office. Each volunteer will have his/her own room, but they will have a common kitchen and bathroom. The flat will be safe, clean, and fully equipped. The apartment will be located in the city center with good connections to shops and transport. The money envisaged for food and pocket money will be provided monthly in cash.

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).
