📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Lapland's Sport Fedration one of main responsibilities is educating club operators, workplaces and people who work with children, so they can develop their activities and be more effective when organizing sporting activities for people. We co-operate with local sport clubs, schools, day care and Santasport Sport Institute (Olympic Training center Rovaniemi).

🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be accommodated in an apartment provided by the city of Rovaniemi. Apartment is located close to the city centre. Volunteers will stay in a shared apartment or hostel consisting of shared bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen. Volunteers will be given bicycles which is a useful way of getting around in Rovaniemi.
Because of the housing arrangements, it is important that volunteers are capable of living together with a person coming possibly from a different cultural background. Adequate English skills are essential.
