Volunteering in a community hosting mentally challenged adults

Arche de la Vallée

Hauterives, France

Description de l’activité

Context: L'Arche La Vallée is a medico-social establishment but it is above all a place where people, with and without disabilities, live together. It is the relationship between the person "helping" and the person "helped" that is at the heart of the project as a source of fulfilment for both. More information: https://www.arche-lavallee.org/ Presentation of the mission: You will be volunteering within the community of l’Arche la Vallée in the small town of Hauterives in southeast France. The community hosts adults with mental disabilities around values of solidarity, fraternity and openness. You will take part of various workshops with them like arts, gardening, games etc. You will be also able to organise activities and workshops. Be aware that the community is located in a rural area, it is beautiful but quite remote and far from urban areas. The closest big cities are Grenoble (1h drive) and Lyon (1h30 drive). A car can be borrowed to go around during free time.
