About the project
Xperience volunteering in a small town nearby the polar circle ESC in Norway
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
We are a voluntary central in a small municipality (500 inhabitants) by the Norwegian Helgeland coast. Approximately 200 km. south of the polar circle. We are surrounded by sea and mountains and only reachable by ferry. We can't offer you common "luxuries" you'll find in the city, for that you'll be traveling in one hour. But here we have everything we'll need and we have a great wild nature just on our doorstep.
So if you would like to experience midnight sun, northern lights, starry skies, real silence, clear blue ocean water and just love the outdoor live, than you should come to us.
The main goal of our voluntary central is to organize a wide range of activities for all the inhabitants; young, old, Norwegian and immigrant and everything and everyone in between. We support local clubs (like the sports-club) in their work and we generate public events to make people from the community connect in their spear time.
💼 What the programme involves
"The only limitation is your own imagination" Come and help us out on the voluntary central, we’re in need of some extra hands and brains! The main goal will be working with and for the local youth and organizing different kind of activities, both indoors and outdoors. Support the local youth council in their political work and environmental projects. You will also be working with and for the elderly and immigrants. We can offer a wide range of possibilities for personal growth! Learn the Norwegian language and the way of living in one of Norway’s smallest municipalities located way up north. The program covers all your expenses! We have a facebook-page called EVS Vevelstad, where you can send a message or post questions. We are looking forward to future volunteers and welcome you with warm hospitality.
You will get to know other European volunteers, discuss about the project with them and become friends. Education in the Norwegian language will be provided. You will get to learn practical life skills. You will be mostly learning by doing.
