Département de la Manche
Conseil départemental de la Manche
Saint-Lô, França
Descrição
The “Conseil départemental de la Manche” is a local government located in the Normandy region in N-W France, looking for a motivated volunteer to support its youth assembly called the “Conseil Départemental des Jeunes”. It aims at preparing teenagers between 11 & 15 years old to become citizens and to take an active role in the local community. The participants develop at least 4 projects of their choosing during a period of 2 years. For 10 months from September 2025, you will be helping the CDJ coordinator in the following activities: - Organising two seminars with all the participants (in September & May), - Organising a weekly thematic committee: « sports & future », « living together », « culture & heritage », « environment & sustainability », and encouraging the young people to implement their projects (from September to June). You will also be a part of the actions to promote sport and parasport on the territory as a legacy of the Paris Olympic Games.
Comparticipação nas despesas de alojamento, alimentação e transporte
Activities take place in Saint-Lô (about 19 000 inhabitants). You will be hosted in a family during the first week of the volunteering mission, in order to adjust to the new environment. Later you will share a furnished flat near the city centre with 2 other volunteers (rent is not charged to the volunteer). You will receive food and pocket money each month to cover day-to-day living expenses (about 590€/month), support for travel to and from the project, a health and house insurance, a bus pass, and up to 40€/month for travelling during free time.
