🇫🇮 ESC Volunteering in Finland 🎥 Youth Work With a Hint of Multimedia 🧒

Description

Enjoy four seasons of the north and be active with local youth! In this project two (2) volunteers will work in the small seaside town of Raahe (24 000 inhabitants). The town is surrounded by nature and its archipelago has become a popular destination.

Volunteers will work together with local youth to create activities and increase involvement. Volunteers will participate in the activities of the local youth work: they will work at youth houses and arrange fun activities for kids and youngsters: eg. events, trips, cultural activities, sports and hobby clubs. Volunteers will have an opportunity to carry out own ideas. Volunteers are also expected to produce audiovisual material that will help raise awareness of different aspects of youth work.

Volunteers will participate in the on-arrival and mid-term trainings organised by the Finnish NA. Volunteers will have Finnish language lessons if they want. Task related support and mentoring will be provided.

Participant profile

We would like to receive active volunteers who are motivated to work with children and young people. Working hours will change according to tasks, so volunteers need to be flexible. We hope volunteers to have knowledge of (or at least interest in) making videos. As the tasks include working with children, an extract of criminal records is required.
