Let’s volunteer in Vir’Volt!
SOLIDARITES JEUNESSES MCP
Association Vir'Volt Délégation régionale de Solidarités Jeunesses
La Ferté-Alais, France
Description
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 throughout the year. 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
Vir'Volt is located in LA-FERTÉ-ALAIS (Île-de-France), near Paris. The association is an ecological village, with wooden accommodations (roulottes, yurts, tents...) and mostly outdoor spaces. The place of the association is in the middle of the forest, having a strong link with nature. INFO AND APPLICATION PROCESS : https://www.solidaritesjeunesses.org/volunteeringinfrance
