📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
During one whole year, two ESC volunteers will be together in Paris, France, hosted in the 19th or 13th arrondissement, with interesting tasks and responsibilities to carry out alongside a core team of permanent staff, volunteers and interns at YES Akademia. These include finding and implementing fun and pedagogical activities for several inter-generational centres around Paris, such as cooking classes, gardening and educational workshops which empower residents. Among the activities there is being present and co-constructing workshops for our core IMPOWER program (18 month leadership and global citizenship training program for youth aged 15 to 26 years old and for which we are currently at our 10th class). Other activities include being present and co-constructing the program and logistics around our other core program PRESS START (1 year responsible entrepreneurship program we run internally and for which we are currently at our upcoming 8th class - this year in Tunisia and France).
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will live in one of either these two sites with your own studio fully taken care of by YES Akademia: 1) The Hauts de Belleville (mjc-leshautsdebelleville.com), 43 Rue du Borrégo, 75020, or 2) Maison des Volontaires, 2-16 Rue Théroigne de Méricourt, 75013 (maisondesvolontaires.org). Both of these sites are used to hosting ESC volunteers and other young volunteers or workers from France and abroad. They have activities to facilitate meeting new people in France and to open dialogue and discussions. You will receive from YAKA pocket money and transportation fees to cover food and transport.
🎒 Leisure activities
We have an internal training program "BAMBOOST" which introduces all new volunteers to holocracy management, non-profit management in France and our core programs internal to YES Akademia. The program will help you delve into your core competencies and ambitions and you will fill out a special Predictive Index evaluation which gives insight about your professional preferences and work style. Other trainings will be offered thanks to the ESC, when you arrive and mid-way through your volunteer experience. Depending on your interest you can participate in other trainings thanks to our partners.
