Description
We are looking for a volunteer to work at two youth clubs run by Örnsköldsviks municipality, the culture and leisure department. The volunteer will help in everyday operations, with various tasks such as leading or assisting in various activities for 13–25-year-olds. The aim is to give youth something meaningful to do during their free time, and by getting to know our ESC volunteer they can learn more about Europe and develop a stronger sense of European identity. There is a wide range of possibilities for a volunteer to develop their own ideas and create their own projects, perhaps in the area of arts and crafts, sports or outdoor life, it all depends on their own skills and interests. Our aim is to give our volunteers maximum opportunity for personal growth and we encourage them to bring their own ideas into the project. The volunteer will be working together with, and get support from our youth leaders.

The volunteer will be accommodated in a fully equipped studio apartment located in the centre of town. The apartment has its own private bathroom and a small kitchen area. There is a big, shared kitchen and laundry room that you share with other volunteers and students. You will be given a monthly allowance for food and private expenses. Most things are within walking distance but need to you need to have a driving license to be able to go to one of the youth club which is located in a rural area. We provide training in how-to drive-in winter climate and how to stay safe on icy roads.
