Voluntariado en un pueblo de Austria en labores de juventud

S/He will assist us in our work in the youth centers and will also participate in our mobile youth work programme – a kind of streetwork, if the German or English language is good). Another part of the job are different projects with focus on sports, education, creativity (mainly for girls) and culture topics. The volunteer will be able to make her/his own projects, bringing in his/her own talents.

In the first line s/he support the following work areas:
working in the youth cafe, working behind the bar, playing games with the youngsters, communicating and giving advice, street work (walking around the city meeting young people and talking to them informing about our work), helping to do some workshops. We show her/him our work, explain our work, our importances. S/He must ask for various details to get explained and show interest in the work to understand our work.

The volunteer will live in an accommodation where also other volunteers live. It is organised by the host organisation. S/He will have a room with bathroom on her/his own and share a kitchen with other residents. The food money he/she gets always in the beginning of the month.
The infrastructure with trains and buses is easy, quick and frequent and s/he will probably also have a bicycle at her/his disposal. The volunteer will receive a ticket for free use of any public transport in the whole region of Vorarlberg during the complete EVS time.

The volunteer will have following trainings and opportunities;
– On-arrival Training; organised by the NA Austria
– Midterm-Meeting; organised by the NA Austria
– German course; organised by the coordinating organisation
– Regular evaluation meetings together with the coordinating organisation
– Regular meetings with her/his mentor in the hosting organisation

We would like to invite people who enjoy and love the work with youngsters. Also the person should have fun to help in outdoor and sports activities or in our workshops. S/he should be open minded and interested in getting to know our organisation and work. Our work is sometimes easy. Anyhow, the volunteer should realize that it means work. Interest in social work, young people and youth culture and understanding to have other working hours as other jobs is very important! As the target group in our youth centres is between 10 and 20 years, we would prefer a person who is least 20 years old.
