Description

Compagnons Bâtisseurs is a French NGO founded in 1957 in order to help people from the working class build their own homes. Since then, we have been working with people with low-income to help them improve their own living conditions through renovation work and workshops. Volunteers participate daily in the renovation work, under the supervision of a technical instructor. They also play an active role in organizing and implementing workshops related to housing for the community. Volunteers are also encouraged to take initiatives in local projects. !!

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Volunteers live in a shared flat with other volunteers or in a residence for students or volunteers. The transport to France is paid by the program. The local association pays for the local transport. Each month, the volunteer receive 468 euros for food and personal expenses.

Training during the activity

Volunteers are also fully involved in the organisation life, especially through their participation in the national and local Executive committees, General Assemblies and through the national volunteers’ group, which regroups all volunteers. During the summer, the volunteers can work as pedagogical co-leaders or facilitator on international workcamps organised by Compagnons Bâtisseurs.
