🇷🇴 ESC Volunteering in Romania 🌳 Environmental After School Clubs for Village Children 📚

Description

The main task of the volunteers is to facilitate different after-school club activities for children in the surrounding villages of Miercurea-Ciuc. The main focus will be on the topic of "Environment". Our team of 4 ESC volunteers go to different villages to provide numerous beneficial activities for children through non-formal education and fun activities. Volunteers will develop the social and English language skills of the children and raise awareness about the importance of living "green". In the after-school clubs volunteers spend part of their time working in groups and part of their time working with individual children. With this project, you can make a meaningful contribution to society, generate a significant impact, and truly help children in need.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Accommodation: volunteers will live in a fully furnished accommodation in the town, max. 2 participants in the same room, with gender-separated rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, as well as bathrooms with toilets and showers, free Wi-Fi included. Food: volunteers can use their food budget (150 EUR/month) to cater for themselves. They will receive 120 EUR/month pocket money. Transport arrangements: for local transportation, volunteers will receive bicycles to get around the town; travel expenses will be reimbursed according to ESC Programme Guide, and green travel is encouraged.

Training during the activity

Training will happen upon your arrival. You will be presented with the cultural differences, will take part in a city tour, and meet your future mentor. We will also make sure you take part in the trainings organized by the Romanian NA: the On-Arrival Training and the Mid-Term Evaluation. For the activities, you will be fully presented with the details once you arrive and will be given all the necessary resources for you to do your research and prepare. We will encourage you to use the General Online Training.

Participant profile

We are looking for the final volunteer to join three volunteers who are already in the country. We are looking for someone who wants to make a meaningful contribution to the local community while also stepping outside their comfort zone and growing through the experience.

The ideal volunteer is motivated to develop their communication, cooperation and practical skills, while gaining a better understanding of their own strengths and areas for improvement within a team. We are looking for someone who is flexible, responsible, open-minded and willing to take initiative, as well as able to commit to the full duration of the project.

We encourage volunteers to be creative and proactive throughout their time with us, to bring their own ideas and perspectives, and to share their unique skills with the local community and the wider volunteer team.
