Description
!! Please apply via https://www.icja.de/content/freiwilligendienste/programme/esk-dein-europaeischer-freiwilligendienst !! Geysir Clubhouse is a place where people with a mental illness come to rebuild their lives. The participants are called members, not patients, and the focus is on their strengths, not their illness. Work in the clubhouse provides the core healing process. Every opportunity provided is the result of the efforts of the members and staff who work side by side in a unique partnership. One of the most important steps members take towards greater independence is transitional employment where they work in the community in real jobs. Members also receive assistance in securing housing, advancing their education, obtaining good psychiatric and medical care as well as maintaining public benefits.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will live in a flat in Reykjavík with other AUS volunteers. The volunteer will have breakfast and lunch in the project, and get additional food allowance to cover the rest of his/her meals. The volunteer will get a certain amount of pocket money, every month.
Training during the activity
The volunteer will receive an On-Arrival-Training at the beginning and a Mid-Term-Evaluation after half of their time.
Participant profile
