🇫🇷 ESC Volunteering in France 🎓 High School Community Animator at Lycée Jules Lesven 🎉

Blind tests. Language clubs. Christmas decoration workshops. Thematic weeks on health, equality, and European countries. Football tournaments. And a school cafeteria that becomes the social hub of a 1,400-student campus. Bureau Information Jeunesse de Brest is looking for 2 ESC volunteers to join Lycée Jules Lesven in France — a placement built around creativity, initiative, and genuine connection with young people.

🏫 About the Project

Jules Lesven is a general, technological, and professional high school located on a shared campus with two other schools in France. The volunteers will be based in the school cafeteria — managing it alongside students, organising events and activities, and driving the social and cultural life of the school community throughout the year. The project is coordinated by Bij de Brest.

🎯 The Role

This is not a teaching role. Volunteers lead workshops and class presentations from time to time, but their main work is animation, event organisation, and project creation. The heart of the placement is the volunteers’ own ideas — they are expected to propose and build their own projects from scratch.

📋 What You’ll Do

☕ Manage the school cafeteria alongside students — selling snacks, stock management, scheduling

🎲 Organise small events and animations throughout the year — blind tests, games, decoration workshops, exhibitions, playlists, language clubs

🎯 Lead workshops and projects at the boarding school — yoga, movie nights, and more

📅 Organise thematic weeks on health, environmental awareness, equality, and European countries

🏆 Organise tournaments — baby-foot, football, and others

💡 Propose and implement your own projects — this is the core of the placement

🎁 What the Project Provides

🏠 Individual furnished studio flat (9–13m²) in a Youth Accommodation Centre (FJT) in the city centre — 15 minutes by bus to the school, 2 minutes’ walk from the main square. Collective heating from mid-October to mid-March

🍽️ €240 per month food allocation

💶 €240 per month pocket money

🚌 Bus ticket provided and refunded

🧑‍🏫 Task-support mentor — Eva Rosot, senior school administrator, based 50 metres from the volunteers’ office

👤 Personal mentor throughout the placement

📚 Pre-departure training (PDT) organised by the sending organisation

🎓 On-arrival training (OAT) and Mid-term training (MTT) organised by the French National Agency

👤 Who Should Apply

⚠️ Open to EU candidates only

This project is looking for 2 volunteers aged 18–30 from EU countries who:

🗣️ Have basic skills in French — essential, as many students may have very limited English

💻 Have basic IT competencies

🤝 Have a good contact with young people and enjoy working with them

🏗️ Are willing to set up, lead activities, and take initiatives

💪 Bring strong motivation and teamwork ability

⚠️ Volunteers must respect a clear code of conduct: punctuality, schedule compliance, medical certificates for absences, care of the flat, and no overnight guests after 22:00.
