About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

ALA is actively working in multiple areas of youth policy and youth empowerment. We believe that through different educational approaches, non-formal education, art and creativity, outdoor practices, we can empower youth and support the local communities around us. We aim to promote social inclusion, active citizenship and intercultural learning. With us you will be provided with a lot of opportunities to shape your own experience, and contribute to what is important to you. As a volunteer for ALA, you will support us in creating summer camps, maintaining outdoor spaces and trails in the mountains, supporting our social media and creating posts and videos. You will work in a dynamic space with other volunteers and members of the association. We seek to find volunteers who are open minded, motivated to contribute to discussion and activities as well as working with youth and locals. You will live in a rural mountain area, which gives you the opportunity to connect with the locals

🏠 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 the hosting charges will be covered by the hosting.

🎒 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 environment for self development and creative thinking.

Someone who is ready to get the local culture and tradition under the skin, and try forces with living in a rural area. With a long term volunteering you will have the opportunity of a long learning experience, and go out of your comfort zone.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
