🔷 Activity Details
Description
¿Te gustaría ser parte de un proyecto para apoyar procesos de construcción de paz a través del voluntariado humanitario? En el marco del proyecto ACT4PEACE, que busca promover el voluntariado juvenil como herramienta para la promoción de los DDHH y las culturas de paz en América Latina y la región MENA, MPDL ofrece una oportunidad de voluntariado en Uruguay. MPDL es una organización social, pacifista, feminista y antirracista que trabaja desde hace más de 40 años por la construcción de sociedades más justas, inclusivas y pacíficas. La persona voluntaria se integrará en el equipo de El Abrojo, apoyando diferentes proyectos, para promover el desarrollo personal y la inclusión de niños, niñas y adolescentes y garantizar el ejercicio de sus derechos. La jornada laboral será de 30 a 38 horas semanales, ajustada a las necesidades de la organización, y contará con acompañamiento y formación. Las actividades principales tendrán lugar en Montevideo con desplazamientos a comunidades cercanas.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Los gastos de alojamiento, visado, seguro y billetes de avión están cubiertos por MPDL. El alojamiento se ubicará en una zona segura de Montevideo, con acceso a servicios como supermercados, restaurantes, hospitales y transporte público. Incluirá todos los servicios básicos (electricidad, agua, gas, internet) y habitaciones individuales. La persona voluntaria recibirá un dinero de bolsillo para cubrir gastos personales, incluyendo comida y transporte local. Los costos de viaje desde tu lugar de residencia hasta el país de destino serán cubiertos por MPDL. Se activará un seguro médico: Henner.
Training during the activity
Asistirás a una formación previa sobre MPDL, ayuda humanitaria, seguridad, tutoría y aspectos prácticos (visado, seguro, etc.). Al llegar a tu destino, recibirás formación sobre la organización de acogida, tus tareas y rol. Además, podrás participar en espacios de intercambio con otras personas voluntarias y formaciones para fortalecer competencias transversales como la conciencia intercultural. Durante tu despliegue, te animamos a aprovechar formaciones de la UE como OLS, GOT y SALTO.
Participant profile
Buscamos a una persona motivada por contribuir a la transformación social y los procesos de construcción de paz, comprometida con los valores pacifistas, feministas y antirracistas de nuestra organización, y dispuesta a integrarse al equipo de El Abrojo durante 9 meses.

Buscamos a una persona con motivación por sus funciones de apoyo en tareas de intervención social, con ganas de aportar y aprender, en línea con los valores de confidencialidad, respeto e inclusión. Esperamos que sea una persona con empatía, sensibilidad por temáticas sociales, paciencia, compromiso, flexibilidad y resiliencia. *Si has enfrentado barreras para acceder a servicios, salud, empleo, educación o vives en zonas periféricas o alejadas, te animamos especialmente a participar.

✍️ How to write a motivation letter for ESC volunteering that actually gets read — and remembered.A motivation letter is often the single most important part of your ESC application, yet most people write them too generically or too formally to make an impact. This guide walks you through what to include, what to leave out, how to structure your letter, and how to express genuine motivation without sounding like everyone else. Whether you're writing your first letter or rewriting one that didn't work, this is the guide you need. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6061/
🤝 What is a supporting organisation in ESC volunteering — and why does it matter for you? Most people know about sending and hosting organisations in ESC projects, but the role of the supporting organisation is far less understood — and far more important than it appears. This article clearly explains what a supporting organisation does, how it fits into the structure of an ESC project, and how its involvement directly affects the volunteer's experience and support throughout the programme. A must-read if you want to fully understand how ESC is structured. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6051/
