Resumo: As EVS volunteer at AAP you will be part of a large group of volunteers that work with AAP. The volunteer will be in close contact with the other volunteers. AAP is located on the country estate from Almere. It is a beautiful area with different organizations working with nature. There is a biological farm, a place where youngsters get informed about nature, a place where children with fewer opportunities can have a free vacation and of course AAP. This country estate is located 8 KM from the city center.
We also want to point out that AAP has a special house in one of the residential areas of the city. Here you will live together with other EVS volunteers and with other volunteers who work at AAP but have nothing to do with EVS. This gives you a good opportunity to participate in social activities and learn more about the Dutch culture. AAP also organizes different meetings for all the volunteers and friends of the organization once a while.

Perfil: The volunteer is working in a very active and flexible foundation. Despite there is a project description, the volunteer will have a lot of personal freedom. This means that there is enough space to grow in the organisation besides the fixed activities. Of course the foundation will give a structure in which the volunteer can find his challenge.
The volunteer can learn how it is to work in a field with a small power-distance. If there are things that you think can be changed to benefit the organisation in the volunteering work you are doing, you are more then welcome to share your opinion with the teamleaders.
Because AAP and Tripin prefer to have volunteers for 1 year. The volunteers will have the oppurtunity to grow in the organization. Also there are possibilities to see all the aspects of working in AAP. For example to take care of the animals for six months and the other three months work in the technical service. Or help with promoting activities. There will be fixed patterns and tasks you have to perform on the application form but after some time there will be oppurtunities to change tasks. This kind of changes will be
in cooperation with the sending organisation, hosting organisation, volunteer and AAP (hosting organisation)

In AAP everything is about the animals. They will always come first. The team leaders decide if you are up to more responsibilities. It has happened that one EVS volunteer has a lot of responsibilities and the others have less. This has to do with motivation and reliability. It is up to your attitude towards the work, NGO AAP, and other colleages, if you are chosen to join this project, how your responsibilities and tasks evolve during your EVS project.

Condições: Tripin provides language courses one hour a week for three months. After this the volunteer can continue the language lessons, but has to pay a fee of €10 a month. Please note that for German(ic) languages these language lessons are maybe a bit easy. The courses are focused on basic communicating skills and pronunciations in the Dutch language.
• For your transport you will receive a bike to move through the city. Also in winter times you will use a bike.
• 10% of your total travel costs are for your own costs. 90% will be reimbursed as soon as you have your dutch bank account. This is in the first month of your EVS.
• You will have to share a room with another volunteer. Please be aware of this fact.
• It is very wise to save some money before coming to the Netherlands. The pocket and food money is decent for EVS, but won’t leave you a lot of space to explore the Netherlands. If you really want to enjoy your EVS, explore the country and meet up with other EVS volunteers in other cities we would highly recommend to have some other resources then the basic EVS allowances.
