🇩🇪 ESC Volunteering in Germany 🏢 Youth Office Projects and Local Community Work 🎯

Description

We are a contact point to support children and young people in the city: our main tasks are improving their living conditions, representing their interests, supporting their development, advice and support associations, groups and volunteers. The ESC volunteer will support the local projects, by taking care of the promotion within the local community of children and youngsters, of material, of the organisation and of the planning of the activities. The volunteer will have the possibility to take part in all the phases of the activities, directly interact with the participants, and propose personal ideas to enrich the project with intercultural exchange.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

The volunteer will be accommodated in a house with other volunteers which is located on the same building of the association, on the last floor. The volunteers share kitchen, bathroom and a common room. The volunteer gets a card for the public transport, so he/she can travel with the tram, train and bus for free.

Training during the activity

In the beginning there will be trainings to welcome the volunteer and to clarify rights and responsibilities. There is continuous professional support for the volunteers, such as regular reflection talks: a neutral person from outside of the core group will lead these talks. To learn the language of the hosting country there will be a language training. The volunteer will take part in two trainings in Germany and attend the On-Arrival-Seminar and the Midterm-Training.
