Working for different organisations in the social field starting 1st of May 2026
Lava Legato Foundation
Rotterdam, Países Bajos
Descripción
We are offering a 4- or 8 month volunteer project starting on 01-05-26. Initially, participants commit to a 4-month contract, during which we will evaluate the experience together with the volunteer, the professionals they collaborate with, and our organization. This project allows participants to explore various aspects of social work, with a focus on supporting individuals with different types of limitations. We are looking for volunteers who are enthusiastic about working in the social sector. Applicants with an educational background in social work are especially encouraged to apply. An interest in gardening and sports activities is highly valued. Since effective communication is crucial in the social field, a willingness to learn Dutch is a significant advantage. For detailed information about the project, please refer to our info kit available on our website: www.lava-group.com. Simply scroll down to the "International Volunteer Work" section to find the info kit link.
Alojamiento, manutención y transporte
Volunteers stay in two cozy locations: a big shared house in Zoetermeer that can host up to eight people, and a smaller apartment in Rotterdam for four. The hosting organisation takes care of the placements, so volunteers don’t need to worry about choosing where they’ll stay. Everyone has their own private bedroom, while the kitchen and bathroom are shared with housemates. A bicycle is provided for getting around day to day, and volunteers receive €400 per month to cover food and pocket money.
Formación durante la actividad
During the project, volunteers have many opportunities to learn and grow. A Dutch language course is offered throughout the project period, and motivated, engaged volunteers are especially encouraged to take part. Before departure, volunteers are prepared for the different groups of people they will work with by discussing real-life cases and learning how to approach various situations. In addition, the Dutch NA provides all participating volunteers with on-arrival and mid-term training sessions, offering further opportunities to connect, share experiences, and develop new skills.
Perfil del participante
IMPORTANT NOTE! For this project we can only host EU citizens!!! We look for volunteers who have a proven interest in the social sector, who are interested in working with people with limitations. An educational background in the social field, could be an advantage but is not a requirement. The willingness to learn the Dutch language, before arrival is a big bonus, since communication is important in the social sector. All communication will take place in English, so it is important to understand English and/or have a strong motivation to learn English in a rapid speed, prior to arrival. The volunteer will work for different organisations/locations: flexibility to work for different organisations is therefore a necessity.
