READ MORE AND APPLY HERE: https://www.nuorisovaihto.fi/allianssi-youth-exchanges/volunteering-in-finland/volunteering-teams/suomenlinna-world-heritage-voluntee/ The Governing Body of Suomenlinna is a government agency that restores, maintains, administers and presents The Fortress of Suomenlinna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The program for Team activity 2025 includes volunteers in several different tasks and activities in maintenance work, landscaping work, supportive restoration tasks and sustainable tourism management. The work is primarily physical and takes place outdoors. The two major projects during the 2025 Team Activity, each lasting 2–3 full working days, will be assisting in the restoration of historical cannons under the supervision of a Building Restorer and painting a shed using traditional paint, guided by a maintenance professional. Additionally, volunteers will take part in shorter landscaping projects, such as removing invasive plants.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The organizer will provide the volunteers accommodation in Hostel Suomenlinna dormitories (one for women, one for men). All meals will be provided by the organizer. Lunches will be served ready, and the dinners will be prepared by the volunteers themselves, together in a kitchen provided by the organizer.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Project is open for 18-30 year old citizens and permanent residents of EU countries and Ukraine. We are looking for motivated volunteers interested in World heritage and willing to do hands-on manual tasks on Suomenlinna site.
Deadline: 14/05/2025 23:59

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport

Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
