The aim of this centre is to create a meeting place for local young people where they can organise activities to relate with other young collectives and people with disabilities. It is a resource which will be improved so that young people can carry out activities, inform and show interest for the YiA Programme.
Specific activities which will be carried out:
- Planning and implementation of weekly activities.
- Support and participation in training talks which may concern young local people.
- Intercultural sessions
- Support to carry out joint activities of young people and people with disabilities.
- Preparation of a session about the YiA Programme and participation to talk about their own experience in it.
In any case, volunteers can suggest a personal project and will receive all support from us for it. This would be guided by their initiatives and supervised by the mentor and supervisor to manage the enrichment of volunteers and the organisation within the reality of the centres.
Punctually, volunteers may participate in leisure activities of the organisation in the Jacob's Way with the users, as well as during holidays (planned yearly, with 1 or 2 groups of users), consisting of 1 week at the coast.
In all cases the mentor and the supervisor will be their reference, as well as the staff they support daily. They will guide them about the service, their tasks and the activities, as well as the group they will participate with.
There will be no job substitution. Voluntary tasks are complementary and a support to staff.
Horário: Time of participation: from Monday to Friday, from 9 to 17:30 and a break in the morning and another one for lunch; language training is included in that time.
Free days: Saturday and Sunday, unless volunteers want to participate in leisure service on weekends (championships, camps,...) in which case the free days would be from Monday to Friday.
Holidays: 2 days per month of EVS service.
Condições: Volunteers will be hosted in a flat belonging to the City Council in this town.
Lunch will be offered in the dining-room of the Occupational Centre, with the staff members, and we will establish an allowance to cover costs of dinner and lunch on weekends and holidays.

The telephone from the Centre in San Cebrian de Campos is in operation 24 hours, so the professionals of the centre can be contacted at any time.
Formação: Our main aim is still the improvement of the quality of life of our residents and their families.
As an added value, this project will favour an enrichment of the professionals, users and local and European volunteers. This means intercultural learning for the volunteer and our entity.
The European volunteers will enable cultural exchange and a positive encouragement through their new ideas, complementary or alternative methods and the needed motivation.
This social project will offer volunteers the chance of knowing other realities and improve skills related with social relations in a collaboration atmosphere between users and volunteers and volunteers and professionals working with us.
We can show volunteers working methodologies in specific programmes and for the daily work with our users. We are also open to receive suggestions related with previous experience of volunteers with this collective.
We also offer the chance of acquiring social experiences and abilities promoting solidarity and youth participation in the field of integration. Accepting and respecting a specific reality often comes from knowing that reality.
- This project will also favour community relations, as the community centre will enable the participation of young people in activities together with people with disabilities.
- This town has experience integrating in the community European volunteers.
Volunteers will receive a basic, initial training:
- About our organisation: structure, reality,...
- Skills related with daily tasks of voluntary actions.
- Language training, adapted to the level of volunteers, in a language school in the town.
The coordinator will continuously supervise the development of the project in collaboration with the mentor. Conflict solving, monitoring of activities and tasks will be done by the coordinator and the mentor.
