Resumo: (Asylum Seekers)
The volunteer will work as part of the Social Support for Asylum Seekers. The program consists of several targeted projects that carry out weekly social activities for people applying for international protection in Iceland. Activities currently take place in the Community Center, and in other 2 places, a 45 minutes’ drive from the town. Social activities currently include a Women’s Group, Youth Club, Open House and Language Classes.
Other projects can be added depending on volunteer availability. The program aims to help reduce social isolation and give asylum seekers an opportunity to stay active during the application period, as well as offer a platform to meet, connect, socialize, and learn about Icelandic society and culture. The hosting organization organizes various activities and events with project emphasis based on needs at any given time. A key element of the Red Cross support program in addressing the challenge of not only reducing social isolation but working towards the social inclusion of people seeking international protection in Iceland is involving the greater public—through volunteering— to create and run events and activities.

Volunteers and participants come together to organize and run the projects in line with the program’s bottom-up vision of empowerment and project ownership
