International Youth Volunteering in Väike-Maarja Youth Centres in #Estonia

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

The volunteer will work daily with the youth center worker, they will work together to plan and organize different activities. For example competitions, trips, different activities (for example- cooking, arts & crafts) and maybe even projects. We generally follow a weekly schedule, affected by previously made activities, also celebrating special days from the calendar and sometimes there will be unexpected opportunities and offers that we will accept if presented. Volunteer will often participate in several training and seminars about youth. So it would be nice if the volunteer could get acquainted with the principles of youth work here and other people in this field thanks to their participation. During summer we organise summer camps and working camps for young people, where the volunteer has a possibility to create activities and workshops.

ACCOMMODATION, FOOD AND TRANSPORT ARRANGEMENTS

The accommodation costs are covered. Volunteers will live in a shared flat equipped with all the necessary utilities for comfortable living. The flat will be located not far from the activities place. Each month volunteer’s receive pocket and food money. The transportation from home country to Estonia and back will be covered according to the distance calculator of Erasmus+ program. The local transport card or a bicycle will be provided.

TRAINING DURING THE ACTIVITY

The volunteer will have on-arrival and mid-term training provided by the Estonian National Agency. Every 10 weeks a meeting with all the volunteers and coordinators will take place in different parts of Estonia to evaluate the progress of the volunteering projects, to set goals, socialize and discover new locations in Estonia.

PARTICIPANT PROFILE

The volunteer should be bold and very open, because our young people are quite modest and don’t get along very fast with new things. The volunteer should also take into consideration the fact that our youth center is located in a rural area where it is relatively peaceful and the leisure facilities are limited. However, the nearby town of Rakvere has many opportunities and the capital city is only 100 km away. TO APPLY FILL IN THIS FORM: https://forms.gle/EYCYaMcgWGizhmne7
