🔷 Activity Details
Description
Help Desk YOUth aims to support youth for personal and professional development, especially in terms of career guidance and planning. Young people will be supported to prepare their CVs, motivation letters, identify opportunities, to prepare for an interview, support to look for different youth programmes and apply. Volunteers will play a vital role in supporting our NGO and maintaining our youth space, “Horizons,” through a variety of daily activities. Tasks will include organizing thematic non-formal education workshops, leading recreational activities, assisting facilitators with material preparation for youth programs, and supporting general logistics, space maintenance, gardening, and planting. NOTE: This volunteering opportunity is fully open to young people from Romania.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteers will be accommodated in Târgoviște, in shared rooms with 3 volunteers per room. The accommodation includes a common kitchen equipped with a fridge, microwave, and stove. Volunteers will receive a daily allowance of €5 for food and basic necessities, along with €4 per day as pocket money. Travel expenses to and from Romania will be reimbursed in accordance with the travel documents provided and the ESC program’s official guidelines. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ACCOMMODATION AND ITS ENTIRE CONSTITUTE IS A STRICTLY NON-SMOKING ENVIRONMENT.
Training during the activity
Volunteers will attend a pre-departure training before leaving and will be instructed for the activities during the project. Under the guidance of the volunteer coordinator, the volunteers will set learning goals and will learn how to deal with tasks related to the development of activity.
Participant profile
Volunteers has to be aged between 18–29. The project is open exclusively to participants with fewer opportunities, who will benefit from additional support in line with the ESC programme provisions. We are particularly looking for motivated volunteers who enjoy practical tasks, teamwork, and outdoor activities, and who feel comfortable helping with physically demanding work when needed. A proactive attitude, responsibility, and willingness to contribute actively to the community are highly valued. Other requirements: interest in community events, motivation to develop organizational skills, good communication skills, minimum B2 level of English, and strong teamwork abilities. Volunteers must be flexible, responsible, positive, and energetic, as they will be part of an international team and will work with smaller and rural communities.
