Tarefas: The aim of hosting an ESC volunteer at the office is to offer the volunteer the opportunity to learn about the activities of a youth exchange organization, and about media and communication work, as well as to get involved in intercultural learning.

- Reviewing and updating the English website
- Participating in making the Maailmanvaihtoa magazine
- Developing a project based on one’s own skills and ideas, emphasizing communication work. Such as hosting Language Café, recording a podcast or making video content about international volunteering.

- Practical arrangements during the training of volunteers, as well as other events (e.g. kitchen work and taking photos & making videos)
Condições: The volunteer will stay in a host family in the area. It is essential to be flexible and motivated to interact with the family members.
The lunch will be provided in the form of a lunch allowance and other meals will be provided by the host family.
