ESC: Volunteering in civic engagement, political advocacy, and support to women’s organizations with a feminist approach
📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
CPMGA is a feminist organization with over 40 years of experience. The volunteer involved in the area of civic participation and political advocacy will support: development and supervision of activities with leadership groups in training at the CPMGA’s Feminist Leadership School; preparation of technical documents requested by women’s organizations to strengthen their institutional capacity; implementation of awareness-raising and advocacy campaigns to promote civic and political participation and women's empowerment; research and analysis of the local situation regarding women's rights; systematization of information and drafting of reports; support in the design, implementation and monitoring of advocacy processes; logistical support to women’s social organizations in community activities, forums, meetings and events, reinforcing the link between CPMGA and them. The main location for the activities will be the office in El Alto. Weekly commitment of 30–40 hrs excluding travel time.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The accommodation will be shared with other volunteers, each having a private room with a lock. Utilities (water, gas, electricity, internet) are included. It is in a residential area of La Paz, which facilitates travel to the city of El Alto and ensures safety during the stay, while providing easy access to medical services, food and other essential services. La Paz is a vibrant and culturally rich city, offering numerous recreational spaces, traditional markets, restaurants. The office in El Alto can be reached by cable car or buses, with an approximate travel time of one hour.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteer will have the opportunity to learn about CPMGA’s methodology for training women leaders, accompany them to meetings with municipal or national authorities to present their proposals, understand the mechanisms for carrying out advocacy actions, and gain direct insight into the learning and empowerment processes of women. Semi-annual online meetings with other project volunteers are planned as training spaces to share experiences, challenges and best practices. Access will be provided to platforms such as OLS, GOT and SALTO. All competencies will be certi-fied with the Youthpass.

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).
