Long-term volunteer with Roma Youngsters in Czechia
Diakonie ČCE - středisko Vsetín
Vsetín, Czechia
Description
As a volunteer at Rubicon, a low-threshold facility for children and young people, you will support their successful integration into society through meaningful and engaging activities. Rubicon provides a safe space where children and teenagers can spend their free time, develop skills, and receive support when they need it. Your role will focus mainly on activation and leisure activities, helping children use their time in a positive and constructive way. You will also assist with school preparation, especially in foreign languages (mainly English), and take part in organising and leading club and extracurricular activities based on your interests and skills. This opportunity is ideal for volunteers who enjoy working with young people, are creative and proactive, and want to support children in their personal development, education, and social inclusion.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers receive a daily stipend of 7 EUR. In addition, a 9 EUR per day food allowance is provided. The project also covers the costs of Czech language lessons, local transportation, and all other expenses directly related to the volunteering activity. We provide accommodation in a private apartment located about a 10-minute walk from the city centre. The apartment has a shared living room with a kitchen, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. There are two bedrooms, each shared by two volunteers, so you will share a room with one other international volunteer.
