About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This project will invite you into a close and well connected family of the local community. The project is located in the beautiful Sabina Mountains area, and welcomes you with stunning views, active local life, high mountains and an open space for creating opportunities. The association ALA is actively working in different areas of youth policy and youth empowerment as well as local development. With us you can support the creation of summer camps for children, outdoor activities or develop skills in administrative work and social media management. It’s important for us to create a sense of belonging and a link between the volunteer and the work they will do. We believe in self empowerment, and that, with time, the volunteer will be given the opportunity to shape their own experience, freely contribute with ideas and participate in open discussion and propose their own ideas for workshops or activities.The volunteer should be open minded and interested to work with local volunteers.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The project is composed of a 35 hour week of activities, 5 days of work and 2 free days per week from Monday to Friday. This project offers a dynamic schedule, and includes working on weekends. If so the volunteer will get extra free days. The volunteers collect 2 days of holiday per month. The cost of the travel will be covered by the project up to a max cost of 275€. The volunteer will be provided with a monthly bus ticket to the local bus. The volunteer will be placed in shared apartments, and will be given monthly pocket money 280€. All hosting charges will be covered by the organization.

🎒 Leisure activities

Once the volunteers arrive they will participate in an on arrival training created by the hosting organization to introduce the work and the area. The volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in the official on arrival training, as well a midterm evaluation provided by the National Agency. If wanted the volunteers will be given the opportunity to participate in online or physical Italian lessons. Specific training activities will be provided in function of the working task ( ex. camp leader training, haccp training, first aid training, etc…)

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We aim to create a dynamic group composed of different competences and skills, gender, personal attitude and nationality. This experience offers a long term project, and thereby a longer process of learning, experimenting, taking action, stretching the comfort zone. The volunteer should openminded to learning to live in an intercultural environment, engaging with the local community, being flexible and adaptable. The volunteer should have the motivation to actively participate in everyday activities of the association, contribute with own ideas and seek new opportunities.
Deadline: Application deadline: 08/02/2024

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).
