About the project
YOLO 6.0, Youth Oriented Local Odyssey
📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The YOLO 6.0 project provides both the young EVS volunteers as well as children and youth from Kerava an opportunity to internationalise and gain a learning experience from cultural interaction.
The volunteers will take part in the various activities of the Youth Services. They will participate in the activities for 9–17-years old youth in the youth houses (“Tunneli” and “Elzu”) and mobile unit ("Kerbiili") by organising e.g. multicultural education in an afternoon club and by taking part in youth evenings. They will help out in the youth workshop “Jenga” together with the instructors. All activities will be carried out together with the youth workers. During holidays (autumn, winter and summer holiday), various events involving the EVS volunteers will be organised (e.g. downhill skiing trips, children’s summer camps at the Kesärinne camping centre and daycamps in the city of Kerava). Kerava city youth services provide services to young people year around.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be accommodated in an apartment provided by the City of Kerava. Apartment is located close to the city centre. Both volunteers will stay in the same apartment, consisting two individual bedrooms, two shared bathrooms, shared kitchen and living room and small backyard. Volunteers will be given bicycles which is useful way of getting around in Kerava. Meals are mainly provided at the Kerava High School. Volunteers are also provided travel cards for Helsinki Regional Transport to get around within the capital region.
🎒 Leisure activities
Volunteers will attend both on-arrival and mid-term trainings provided by the Finnish National Agency. Finnish courses will take place in the Kerava High School. It is also possible for volunteers to participate in gatherings and other non-formal meetings of the other volunteers working in Finland.
⚠️ Requirements
We are looking for volunteers who are over 18 years old, outgoing, initiative and capable to work with children and youth. It´s important to have the ability to process own views of the activities, and capability to plan and carry out/implement activities for children and young people.
The age range of youth is from 10 to 29 years, focusing to youngsters between 13-17 years.
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.
