Description of organisation

La Maison des Volontaires is an organisation and a place dedicated to volunteering and mobility projects for young people. Our main aim is to promote and enhance volunteering's actors (volunteers and hosting organisations) and their actions. It is organised within 3 spaces :
- the "Home" : accomodation for volunteers aged from 18 to 30 coming from everywhere (all over France, Europe and even the world). Within the volunteers, we organised projects and events where they can share what they do during their volunteering project. They are also involved in the local life by a 2-hours-weekly action within a local organisation from our neighborhood in order to develop social cohesion.
- The 'Lab" : is like a FabLab for the Young to inform, follow up on defining and realising a volunteering project. We also follow up on organisations interested by hosting volunteers to define the actions and mentoring process. Those works can be organised by as individual meetings or workshops.
- The "Scene" : is a place where the events take place. It can be events organised by our volunteers, by their hosting organisations and/or for others organisations to gather their volunteers during workshops.

Located in the 13th district of Paris, La Maison des Volontaires develops local connections and projects within the neighborhood to encourage et stimulate social cohesion.

We are 2 employees : the managing director and the project manager.
