Descrizione
We are looking for a one volunteer for half a year (6 months); starting as soon as possible; latest at the end of April! The project provides both the volunteers as well as children and youth of Kerava an opportunity to internationalise and gain a learning experience from cultural interaction. The volunteers will take part in the various activities of the Kerava Youth Services and Kerava City Library. Volunteers will work with children and youth (mainly 9-25 years old). Volunteers participate in the youth house evenings, detached youth work, and other activities the youth services and city library provide. Kerava youth services also encourage volunteers to co-operate with other municipal actors and local NGOs, depending on their personal interests. All activities will be carried out together with the youth workers/library workers, regarding the professional skills and interests of the volunteer. A lot of activities will be done in the evenings and some in the weekends.
Alloggio, vitto e trasporto
Volunteer will be accommodated in an apartment provided by the City of Kerava. Apartment is located close to the city centre. Both volunteers will stay in the same apartment, which consists of two individual bedrooms, two shared bathrooms, shared kitchen and living room and a small backyard. Volunteers will be given bicycles which is a useful way of getting around in Kerava. Meals are mainly provided at the Kerava High School. Volunteers are also provided travel cards for Helsinki Regional Transport to get around within the capital region.
