About the project
Supporting Children and Young People in Northern Ireland (YMCA)
📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
We are seeking enthusiastic volunteers to support:
- Youth work programmes, both centre-based & outreach work. Also, targeted programmes providing support for young people to address issues of employability, health, inclusion & community relations.
- Afterschools activities for 4-11 year olds, helping staff with organising and running the activities, supporting children with homework and with leisure activities.
- Community programmes, such as the Harbour Renewal Project & BME Advocacy work, providing information & support to those people living in the Harbour Ward of Bangor with a particular focus on young people, families & senior citizens.
- Crèche support, working with children from 0-4 years old
We ask the Volunteers to help with the delivery of all aspects of the programme; such as planning, preparation, leading & developing programmes to people of all different ages and abilities.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation will be in a shared house or flat with two other volunteers and each volunteer will have their own bedroom.
The volunteer will be provided with a bike. Past volunteers have enjoyed the opportunity to cycle along the coast path which starts in Bangor.
Volunteers will receive pocket money plus money for food and have a kitchen in the accommodation where they can prepare their own meals.
🎒 Leisure activities
Volunteers will be registered onto the OLS system to help them improve their English language skills.
They will also receive relevant on the job training on aspects such as working with young people and local communities and working with children. They will be given a general EVS induction and orientation at the beginning of their placements and will be trained in relevant policies and procedures of the organisation (child protection, health and safety etc).
Volunteers will attend EVS On Arrival Training and Mid-Term Evaluation.
⚠️ Requirements
French volunteer required
Application deadline : 31-05-2018
We wish to find enthusiastic volunteers who are interested in supporting children, young people & families in & around Bangor. The volunteers should be interested in working with children & young people & ideally have experience in this already. Volunteers should be confident in their English or able to improve their level quickly, since direct communication with the young people & children is an essential and major part of the volunteer role.
We are particularly keen to hear from volunteers who are fluent in Arabic and would be interested in working with resettled Syrian refugee families.
