Citizenship Lab 2027 - Volunt. Edition @ Rota Jovem
ASSOCIACAO JUVENIL DA LINHA DE CASCAIS ROTA JOVEM
CASCAIS, Portugal
Description
Rota Jovem is a non-profit Youth Association, located in Cascais, which promotes and runs national and international youth activities for young people since 1992. Our secret is to be an open door for new projects, promoting an opportunity for youth to implement their projects and dreams with the support of an experienced and enthusiastic team. We have been working on the promotion of Non-Formal Education. The volunteer will: - Support the daily work at a youth association’s office headquarters; - Public information sessions regarding international mobility opportunities – at schools, universities, online, within local partners, etc.; - Integration in Rota Jovem projects (pontual or residencial) with youngsters (example: Human Rights Education sessions; workshops; local trainings; meetings with local organisations); - Besides these activities, Rota Jovem is also open to support volunteers’ ideas and personal projects inside the association during the volunteering period.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will be living in a shared apartment in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area and has to be ready to share a room with another volunteer, if needed. The kitchen and bathroom will be shared with other people. The hosting organization will provide a food allowance (covering also the holiday period) to the volunteer, a daily allowance for pocket money and a public transportation monthly card. They will be paid monthly (accordingly) during the first five days of each month.
Training during the activity
Rota Jovem will ensure the participation of the volunteer: - in the on arrival training at Rota Jovem (reflection about expectations and objectives) - in a specific training inside the association to implement the tasks; - in the on-arrival training and mid-term evaluation organised by the NA, - in a language course, - other training opportunities at local/national level.
