Youth work, refugee integration, non-formal education, and a multicultural volunteer house — this ESC placement in Türkiye is for someone who is open-minded, energetic, and genuinely committed to working with young people from diverse and challenging backgrounds.
The hosting organisation works with young people aged 7 to 29, including children and refugees, through a range of activities that combine non-formal education, outdoor activities, and visual presentations. Volunteers support the staff, contribute to association activities, and engage with local partners — while also gaining hands-on experience in project development and quality management for youth with fewer opportunities.
What Is This Role About?
Volunteers become an active part of the organisation's daily work — supporting workshops and activities, engaging with young people, and contributing their own ideas and skills. The placement also offers the opportunity to discuss real challenges in project implementation and develop practical competences in quality management.
