Lunch will be provided through a lunch allowance, and other meals will be arranged by the host family. A monthly public transport card for the Helsinki area will also be covered. The volunteer will have two days off per week (usually Saturday and Sunday) and will receive two vacation days per month.

This volunteering position is ideal for someone interested in communications – particularly social media and video content – and eager to learn more about international volunteering and working in an NGO. We are looking for a responsible and well-organised person with strong teamwork and communication skills. Good English skills are an asset for this role.
