ESC volunteers often propose ideas based on their talents and skills. Developing these initiatives allows them to test potential future activities. For the community, this provides sociocultural enrichment and supports those who cannot afford paid initiatives. AMC offers volunteers a space to explore their connection with the local community, creating activities, projects, and initiatives to address specific issues. - A coordination model with a flexible work structure, focusing on volunteer empowerment and cross-project dialogue. - Adaptation of activities, reinforced mentoring, continuous tutoring - Encouragement of diversity and creativity - Peer support - Value volunteer feedback - Volunteer representative: Volunteers choose a mediator among themselves Infopack: https://www.canva.com/design/DAG_IyFv_to/fBYd_Nz98JbZjqZOqpdM0A/edit Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_1DFJFngFs
