SOLIDARITES JEUNESSES MCP
ASSOCIATION DU CENTRE DE BEAUMOTTE
BEAUMOTTE AUBERTANS , France
Description
About Solidarités Jeunesses (SJ): Solidarités Jeunesses is a national movement dedicated to non-formal education, solidarity, and intercultural exchange. It consists of a National Secretariat in Paris and eight regional delegations across France. Throughout the year, these delegations host international volunteers to engage in meaningful social, ecological, and cultural projects. While each delegation is unique, all share common goals: Bringing together people from diverse cultural and social backgrounds to foster community development. Supporting the integration of individuals with fewer opportunities. Each project is rooted in collective living and solidarity. We believe that cultural exchange is a powerful tool for personal growth, allowing volunteers to learn, experiment, and develop new perspectives. 🔗 For more information and the application process: www.solidaritesjeunesses.org/volunteeringinfrance
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The project takes place in Beaumotte, a small countryside village in the Franche-Comté region of eastern France. The site consists of a large communal house, additional buildings, and a vegetable garden. As a volunteer, you will live in a shared house with other volunteers, contributing to daily life like in a big co-living space. The centre also permanently hosts four teenagers and works closely with adults in social reintegration programs from Tuesday to Friday.
