🏢 About the local organisation

Our partner is a non-governmental organization based in Estonia focusing on youth personal development, education, and well-being. Founded on values such as empowerment, inclusion, and innovation, it aims to provide young people with opportunities to realize their full potential and make positive contributions to society.

The organization likely offers a range of activities and programs aimed at enhancing youth skills in various areas such as leadership, active citizenship, interpersonal skills, and perhaps also aspects related to mental health and physical well-being.

They may organize workshops, trainings, community events, and collaborative projects to encourage youth engagement and foster an environment conducive to their overall development.

As an NGO, our partner might also engage in advocacy and awareness-raising initiatives on issues affecting young people and collaborate with other local, national, or international organizations to maximize their impact and reach.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in groups of 2-4 in rented and appropriately furnished flats. They will have a private or shared bedroom and a shared kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet. Narva is not a big city, therefore the volunteers will walk to the placement. If a volunteer decide to use public transport for going to the HO, they will get monthly transportation money. In case there are any project activities being held outside the city the volunteers will get their expenses covered by VitaTiim.

🍲 Food

Food allowance will be given to the volunteers monthly. The volunteers will cook by themselves.

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).
