About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The YMCA Kodersdorf is a Christian organization which promotes the equality of every person. Its services concentrate on providing opportunities to each individual to grow and develop holistically, body, mind and spirit. So we are organising activities in the school club of the secondary school in the village Kodersdorf. Their purpose is to offer a home to the pupils within school where they can feel fine and they are encouraged and get the possibility to develop their personality and talents.

💼 What the programme involves

Our Organisation, the YMCA Kodersdorf e.V. is a small Christian organization in Kodersdorf, near Görlitz. We are running a school club at the local school with students aged between 10 to 16 years. Our purpose is to create a place for students where they are enabled to be themselves and to grow in their personalities and talents. Further, we want to meet them with God´s love and give them the opportunity to get to know Christianity. Our work has different areas: sports, playing games, music, spending time with the students but also organization and logistics. The school club includes a small café opened during breaks and after lessons partly up to the evening. Every Friday we meet to do some more sports, cook and have dinner and devotion together. Usually, your working time will be from 8.30 am to 4 pm (Fridays from 11.00 to 8 pm) and will include a few weekends during the year.

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).
