Apraksts
In this project we are looking for 10-15 volunteers from different countries to work in a volunteering team for three weeks. The project is hosted by and organised in Youth Centre Piispala that is in the rural Northern Central Finland. Project takes place 10/11/2025-30/11/2025. Theme of the project is to boost the community spirit in Piispala by decorating, painting and doing small improvements at the centre. The volunteers will organise events for the local community to increase solidarity and togetherness. The volunteers will paint one of the accommodation spaces that is used by customers. Participating volunteers will learn project skills, develop their interpersonal skills and practical skills. We want the volunteers to learn about different cultures and make new connections with other volunteers. Volunteers will work 5 days a week, 7 hours per day (9-16). There might be some occasional work on the weekends and evenings.
Dzīvošana, ēdināšana un transports
The volunteers will stay at the Youth Centre Piispala in a shared accommodation, 2-3 people/room. Four meals per day are prepared by the Piispala’s kitchen and served either in the accommodation or in the cafeteria. A charter bus will pick up all the participants from the Jyväskylä Travel Centre. All participants must arrive in Jyväskylä on 10 November by 20:00. If the volunteer can’t make it to the bus, they will have to arrange their travel to Piispala on their own. There is no public transportation to and from Piispala.
