Opis
The missions of the non-profit organization ANDAGE is to develop innovative projects and responses adapted to the needs of people with physical, mental or multiple disabilities, adults and children and their families. Andage proposes different activities, collective or not, within their services (workshops about carpentry, handcraft, gardening, music, sport) or outside (visits, excursions). It also runs the ‘Alter Boutique’, a swap place (shop) in the town of Marche-en-Famenne, where anyone can come and swap items, have a cup of coffee or admire the constantly displayed local artists exhibitions. Role of the volunteer: help in the swap shop; support the team to implement new projects; join and propose different workshops (art, cooking, gardening...). Meetings will be organised weekly to plan your tasks. You will also benefit from the support of a tutor.
