About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Proyecto Kieu is an association based in the village of Numancia de la Sagra. In the last 10 years we have been creating projects for the young people in our area so they could have more opportunities for personal development and growth. One of our biggest projects are the Youth centers we manage in the nearby towns. A youth center is a place where young people(14 till 24 years old) can hang out, participate in free time activities, learn and create. These are also the places where we organize most of our projects. Now we are looking for volunteers to support our work in the youth centers we manage in the nearby towns. Those volunteers will *support the English learning of the local youth exchange group; *design visual materials related to our main activities - posters, videos, publications, support us in the organization of specific events and activities *promote volunteering and European programs;*occasionally help us with administration and office maintainance.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accommodation is in shared houses with other local and international volunteers of Proyecto Kieu. Usually volunteers also share the bedroom with another volunteer of the organization. To travel to and from their hometown, each volunteer will have a budget depending on where they travel, according to the Erasmus + distance calculator.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers receive an on-arrival training organized by our entity that aims to prepare them for the work with young people, give them practical information about life in our area and teach conflict management and cultural shocks. They also participate together in monthly trainings focused on the Youthpass skills and their own learning, their personal development and on the achievement of their learning objectives.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for people with open minds and open hearts. There is no specific skill you should have, but the sence of initiative and motivation to help and learn is essential. As the volunteer will be collaborating in a youth center in a village where the bigger part of the population speaks Spanish only, it is important that you are motivated to learn the language. The type of work our organization does requires that the chosen volunteer has good social skills and is open to lead activities, organize groups and chat with the locals.
Deadline: Application deadline: 21/05/2023

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).
