About the project

Friends of Childhood

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Friends of the Childhood center is a center for training, development and activities for all ages. Regroups 3 different programs: The City of Indigenous Girls, the Children's House and a trainingcenter that offers several workshops. The objective of the project is to equip children, young people and adolescents with limited economic resources so that they can be inserted into the academic and work world. Its mission is to create optimal conditions for indigenous girls, adolescents and young people, through emotional strengthening, citizen education and the development of their work skills, empower themselves and achieve their maximum potential.

💼 What the programme involves

Activities: Volunteers can be inserted in the different areas, according to their interest and profile:
1 / Administrative area: the team is very small so it requires support activities such as:
- Communication and dissemination of activities
- Management of social networks, posters and presentations.
2 / Education. The activities are inserted within the Children's Home program. The project offers activities for children of all ages from 9 am to 2 pm and from 3pm to 6pm. The activities are various and depend on the profile of the volunteer: schooling, recreational activities, computing, writing, dance, manual activities such as painting, guitar, music, etc. This is a space for you to share your taste and abilities. In addition, you will be a great support within the scheduled workshops.
3 / Youth: The activities are included in the City of Indigenous Girls program. The objective is to train in personal and professional development women and men in vulnerable situations who are between 16 and 30 years old. It offers hotel, food and beverage workshops to give them back the citizenship that their social, family and work environment has taken from them. Its mission is to create optimal conditions so that adolescent girls and young indigenous people, through the development of their work capacities, are empowered and achieve their maximum
potential.
A network of hotels and restaurants is also being built to find donations and materials for the workshops. The volunteer is free to also offer their own workshops (sports, competitions, help to make a motivation letter, a CV, languages, self-esteem etc).
