🏠 Accommodation on site

We will provide you a room in a shared flat with one or two other volunteers. You will have your own room but will share the bathroom and the kitchen. You will live with 12 other volunteers in two buildings, we also have a big garden with a barbecue. A bike will be given to you, and you will also receive a monthly public transportation ticket. You will have 420,00 EUR of pocket money per month. We will also support up to 320,00 EUR of your transportation costs to come to Jena.

🎒 Leisure activities

As a volunteer, you will have to attend different seminars. There will be three seminars at the beginning, middle, and end of your volunteering in Jena with AWO, exclusively with the other volunteers from Eurowerkstatt and the mentors. In addition, you will attend two seminars organized by the national agency in other German cities, at the beginning and middle of your volunteering. Those seminars last for 1 week and 5 days, and you will be with other European volunteers that are doing ESC in Germany.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for a motivated volunteer, eager to work with young people and that is willing to share his or her culture and make a positive impact on the youth's lives and well-being. It is also important to have cultural sensitivity in order to be able to create an inclusive environment. Respect for different backgrounds, beliefs, and identities is essential. We will appreciate if the volunteer has some hobbies, or interests that he or she can share with us. Speaking German is not required.

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).
