Resumo: The hosting organization is a partner in the worldwide youth exchange organisation, American Field Service, represented in over 55 countries all over the world. The organization is a voluntary based, non-profit NGO, independent of political and religious interests. In Denmark, the organization started in 1957 and is today the oldest and largest non-profit exchange organisation in Denmark with 20 staff members, more than 30 local chapters and more than 2.000 members, many of whom work as volunteers for the organisation.

In the organization, we believe that through intercultural understanding and by creating meetings across differences we create solidarity among us. We believe that by getting to know each other’s differences and by becoming aware of our own culture we can create more understanding, more sympathy and less prejudges. All of our activities take their beginning in those thoughts.

For more than 50 years, the organizationr has organised exchanges between almost 50 countries of the world. We have extensive experience in intercultural learning and a network throughout the country to ensure proper support to all participants hosted in Denmark. The organization has been involved with the European Solidarity Corps (previous EVS) programme since 1997 both as a sending, hosting and coordinating organisation.

The organization’s programmes include:

- High school stay abroad for young people between 15-18 years (hosting and sending)
- Programmes for people above the age of 18 spending their gap year taking one or two semesters at a college or university abroad
- Programmes for people above the age of 18 doing voluntary work in Europe, Africa, Asia, Central America, South America and Australia (hosting and sending)

He/she will job-shadow both key staff members and volunteers to get an in-depth understanding of the way the organization is organizing its activities in Denmark.

The main tasks include:

- The volunteer will also be invited to join an ongoing effort to develop and distribute information and knowledge regarding intercultural learning in and outside of the organization, through various channels.
