Support the activities in a Special Education School for children and young people with intellectual disabilities

Deskrizzjoni

AMICOS is a non-profit association in Galicia that supports people with intellectual disabilities and their families. As an ESC volunteer, you will join our Special Education School for children and young people with intellectual disabilities aged 3 to 21. The school helps students develop their abilities and skills for more opportunities in life, and works with other organisations and schools to promote their social inclusion. Working alongside our professionals, you will: 

• Help design and carry out educational, leisure and cultural activities; 
• Accompany students in daily activities and help them understand instructions;
• Suggest new ideas for activities; 
• Organise environmental awareness activities;

You will live in a bilingual environment, where Galician and Spanish are spoken every day, and get to know the local community.
