They should have interest and/or experience working with children/youth and/or with migrants. Volunteers working here should be communicative, creative, patient explaining things to people, having a ¨can do¨ attitude, with empathy and ability to control their own emotions and not act based on them. They should have interest in immigration services and processes. Finally, they must be motivated to work with children and youth!
