📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Would you like to spent two weeks of your summer helping to organize a youth work camp for local youngsters and through that get to know Estonian culture and meet new friends? If yes, then this is the project for you For many years Voka Youth Centre together with neighbour municipalities organizes a youth work camp, where youngsters aged 12-18 are working 4 hours a day (landscaping, cleaning, building, etc) and after that have diverse fun activities together. We look for volunteers who will help us to organize and run this camp. The camp is organized together with municipality of Johvi https://www.johvi.ee/web/eng/eng

💼 What the programme involves

We ask volunteers to help us to run this work camp for youngsters: organize free-time activities, team-building games, culture nights for participants, etc. Volunteers alongside with local leaders will be responsible for the whole cultural and social program of the camp. Also, volunteers are asked to join young people helping doing the work of the camp. Work is mainly outdoors. This job requiers high level of commitment and responsibility for the camp program and the young participants. Some days may be quite long for late-night orientations, landscape game in the forest, campfire etc. But it will all be FUN It will be great if you could introduce your country and culture to local young people.
