Resumo: (children with autism)
S.P.O.S.A. Bratislava (Spoločnosť na Pomoc Osobám S Autizmom - Society for the Help of People with Autism) is a parental nongovernmental organization for families with children with autism.
The aim of SPOSA is to improve the life quality of people with autism spectrum disorders, help them integrate into society, and support their families. We offer our members different activities based on volunteering and non-formal education. These activities mainly focus on everyday life skills (cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc.), creativity, and social skills.
Our members are mainly young adults with autism spectrum disorders and they attend the center some days every week. The presence of foreign volunteers has an added value to our work since it has introduced multiculturalism and this is a good opportunity for our clients to encounter different traditions and broaden their perspectives.
We are hosting volunteers and we are accredited as a hosting organization since 2008.
We believe the ESC project is in line with our values and action, since volunteering, non-formal education, inclusion, and multiculturalism are key points in our work.

Tarefas: The main goal of the project is to promote the inclusion of people with special needs and facilitate communication and multiculturalism. volunteers are fully involved in the work process, which can include:

Horário: Working hours for volunteers are normally from 11 am to 5:30 pm, from Monday to Friday, except for special events like camps or small trips. In case of some extra activities at the weekend, volunteers will have more free days the following week.
Moreover, they are entitled to 2 days off per working month.

Condições: Accommodation and Venue:
We provide a fully equipped three rooms flat for volunteers, with two separate and one room for two people. It is located about 10 minutes by direct bus line to the center, where SPOSA is located as well. The accommodation expenses are totally covered by the ESC funds. The sending organization has to provide the volunteers with Cigna insurance.

Economic conditions
According to the program, the volunteer will get pocket money (150€/month) and food allowance (113€/month), which makes 263€ per month in total. In the flat there is a kitchen, so volunteers usually cook for themselves. During the day, there are several possibilities where they can eat, or they can bring their food to SPOSA as well.
