Volunteer for BJMK-musical youth centre in Latvia
Biedriba Bernu un jauniesu muzikas klubs
Jelgava, Letónia
Descrição
We are musical youth centre and music school who have an opening for a long term volunteer. The main idea of the project is for a volunteer to become one of our team members and help us organize our daily work with children, youngsters and adults. It includes some late office hours office (also late 17.00-21.00) when you would be responsible for everything that is going on inside the building, but also the project gives a space for creativity: like being involved in organizing events, some project management, creating visual materials, videos for social media, managing IT problems, organizing sound equipment, learning to play and instrument or even organizing your own workshop. It does not mean that you have to do it all, but you should have interest at least in part of the topics. (See the info in section PARTICIPANTS profile to get a better picture). In our organization we let people develop their strengths (and improve their weaknesses) that way each activity is different.
Comparticipação nas despesas de alojamento, alimentação e transporte
The volunteer will be accommodated in the same youth-centre building, in a small 1-roomed private appartement with a private/separate entrance.
