Description
FOR YOUTH INITIATIVE II is a six months project for four volunteers between 18 - 30 years old coming from Romania and Spain. We would like to provide to the volunteers, the opportunity of participating in our local projects helping in the daily tasks like preparing the agenda, who to contact, etc, in order to improve their skills and knowledge and give them useful work experience that can be useful in their future, professional or volunteer life, inside any organization. The volunteers will always receive proper support from the staff. In any case, the volunteers are expected to have openness and pro-active volunteering attitude. The tasks of the volunteers will be shared, even if each volunteer will have a specific field to step in. The daily work can be divided into several key areas, considering his/her expectations and our needs. Volunteers will have the opportunity to develop/create their own projects.
