Let’s volunteer in Le Créneau
SOLIDARITES JEUNESSES MCP
Solidarités Jeunesses - Le Créneau
Montcombroux-les-Mines, France
Description
⚠️ Driving licence recommended for Le Créneau⚠️ Solidarités Jeunesses (SJ) is a national movement of non-formal education and is composed of a National Secretary (Paris), and eight regional delegations across France. Our delegations host international volunteers. Each regional delegation is unique, but all of the activities organized benefit the local community and share common ground: - gather people from different culture and social background to participate in social, ecological and cultural development. - contribute to the integration of people with fewer opportunities. Each project is dedicated to actions of solidarity and collective living. We believe that cultural exchanges are a key for personal learning and for the volunteer to experiment and undergo personal development.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Le Créneau is located in Montcombroux Vieux Bourg in the Allier department, Auvergne region in the center of France. The site includes a main house, the two small towers, a farmyard, a vegetable garden, some other workshops and it is surrounded by the forest. It‘s a very isolated place, situated 6km from the “bigger“ village with shops. As a volunteer you will share a house with other volunteers! It is of high importance to commit into daily life, as in a big house-share, because the house will look like its inhabitants, it's your home sweet home for a few months!
