APPLY THROUGH OUR WEBSITE: https://www.nuorisovaihto.fi/allianssi-youth-exchanges/volunteering-in-finland/long-term-esc-finland/ Dodo is a Finnish environmental organization founded in 1995. Dodo addresses environmental issues societally, without unnecessary simplification. Current key themes are: civic action, food and global sustainability. The main task of the volunteer would be to help the employees. This includes tasks in urban gardening, communications, event planning and arrangement and office maintenance. At the Urban Dinners the volunteer can choose to work in the kitchen or in the garden and may also prepare discussions and workshops. At courses and events the volunteer can help with facilitation or running practical errands during preparation and the event or course itself. Tasks also include communications and posting social media as well as tasks related to Turntable. When applying to the ESC at Dodo please familiarise yourself with the organisation and its activities.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
You will be accommodated in a shared apartment in Helsinki and you will have your own room. The location is still open, but Dodo’s office has good public transportation connection to all parts of the city. You will receive food money to buy groceries and cook food for yourself. Your public transport tickets will be reimbursed, after registration in Finland you can buy a monthly ticket.
Participant profile
We hope that the volunteer is motivated, self-driven, has good communication skills, is co-operative, works well in teams and is interested in the scope of activities that Dodo runs. An intermediate to upper-intermediate level of English is required. The volunteer should be motivated to learn, to adapt, to propose ideas, take initiative, work independently and be open to discover other cultures and different ways of doing things. A desire to participate actively in the project, pro activity, enthusiasm, eagerness and a desire for involvement are all necessary in order to ensure both the project and the volunteer will reach their full potential.
