GPS Wilhelmshaven
Wilhelmshaven, Germany
Description
The Jugendwerkstatt Störtebekerpark is aimed at young people facing difficult life situations due to their educational, personal or social circumstances. They require special professional guidance, ensuring continuous support in transitioning from school to work or training. In the end, each individual should be empowered to plan his or her career and life path independently. In the Störtebekerpark we offer practical experience and knowledge within the fields of gardening and housekeeping. You are assisting professionals in educational activities and individual support measures. You are motivating learners to participate in qualification offerings and experimental pedagogical activities. You will have the opportunity to independently lead teaching units. Your tasks include preparing the seminar room, providing support in maintaining the outdoor area and preparing meals. You participate in projects such as bonfire evenings or apple festivals and are welcome to bring in your own ideas.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Together with you five international volunteers will spend a year at the GPS. You will live in a shared flat. A German volunteer will be your companion to show you ways how to spend your free time in and around Wilhelmshaven: cultural events, theatre, museums, the beach, a promenade, possibilities for water sports, cafés and bars. Together you‘ll receive tickets for public transportation to explore the region and nearby cities like Bremen or Hamburg. We will pay you a monthly allowance of 180€ and a food allowance of 270€, show you nearby supermarkets and important places to go upon arrival.
Training during the activity
At work a qualified and experienced practical instructor will be your continuous professional guide responsible for induction and integration into the group's daily routine. A personal mentor from our Department of Voluntary Services will be your contact person and regularly stay in exchange with you.
