Oplæring under aktiviteten
In addition to the ECS seminars we will offer additional training for volunteers. You will be working with the elderly, we will therefore train you to be able to accompany them and to offer them services/activities. You will also have French lessons and individual coaching time. We also propose an internal training programme on issues such as citizenship and values for our volunteers across our different missions.

The driving licence is not required but it is a plus. Due to a short timing we are not able to recruit volunteers that need a visa. Some French language skills are welcome, but not required. Our work language is French. We are happy about any application that identifies with the described mission and are looking forward to meeting you soon!
