Resumo: Liechtenstein, with a population of 35,000 (end of 2005) and an area of 160 square kilometres, is the fourth smallest state in Europe. It borders Switzerland to the south and west and Austria to the east and north. The lowest point is the Ruggeller Riet at 430 m above sea level and the country's highest mountain is the Grauspitz with 2,599 metres. Liechtenstein's Rheintal valley covers half of Liechtenstein's entire territory. Since the rest of the country has a mountainous character, this is Liechtenstein's actual agricultural area.
Despite its small size, the country looks back on a very eventful history. A history of rapid developments, and not least its transformation from being a purely agricultural country to an industrial economy.
Liechtenstein is a constitutional hereditary monarchy on a democratic and parliamentary basis. The power of the state is inherent in and issues from the ruling prince and the people.
The capital Vaduz with the residence of the princely family, seat of the government and parliament is becoming more and more the centre of the region. Also located in Vaduz is the JWG and the flat where the volunteers are accommodated. The Principality of Liechtenstein is divided into 11 municipalities called Gemeinden (singular Gemeinde).
The currency valid in Liechtenstein is the Swiss Franc (CHF), but Euros are also accepted in most places.

What does the JWG Vaduz as EVS hosting organisation offer EVS Volunteers?
· We provide an insight into the stationary youth work in Liechtenstein for a maximum of six months
· The volunteers get to know a social organisation with various areas.
· The volunteers are supervised in the form of discussions with their mentor
· During daily work the volunteers are coached by the staff on duty
· Chance of attending the team meetings
· No night work, but weekend work possible as part of projects
· Spare-time activities are encouraged
· Intercultural introductory evening
· German-language course or topic-specific further training
· Flat with other EVS participants and trainees in Vaduz (maximum of 5 per residential unit)
· During the service, the volunteer develops a project, taking into account his/her skills, which the volunteer plans, implements and evaluates independently, with the assistance of the mentor.

Perfil: EVS volunteers should be interested in stationary youth work and social work in general. A certain level of social maturity is expected, along with the willingness to act independently.

Basic German-language skills is mandatory in order to be able to communicate with the young people in the JWG.

We expect the EVS volunteers to set an example for our youths. The EVS volunteers must follow the group leaders upon whom they should be able to model their own actions. We expect a well-groomed appearance and no obvious orientation towards youth peer groups.

Ideally the volunteer works around 35 hours per week. Working hours are between 08:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
A driving license (Category B, passenger car) would be an advantage.

Tarefas: The tasks of EVS volunteers can be broken down into three basic areas:

1. Coaching of our clients in the tasks of daily life, which include cooking, cleaning and shopping, meals. Apart from that, supporting the clients in personal hygiene matters; the EVS volunteers are also co-responsible for the way the meals are organised and the atmosphere in the living community. This area takes up most of the work. Volunteers don't have to be able to do everything, but they have to be willing to get involved in this area.

2. Providing assistance in the youths' spare-time activities; the JWG offers the youngsters group weekends (skiing, camping, cultural trips, hiking, etc.) all the year round. EVS volunteers can also help with the required preparation, implementation and follow-up work. Organising the evenings is another area to which EVS volunteers can contribute their ideas and put them into practice. Generally speaking, all sorts of skills that meet the needs of our clients can be incorporated into the social programme, whether these concern sports, cultural or creative areas.

3. Supporting youngsters with their school- and homework. Where this is concerned, it is important that the young people are given continual assistance, i.e. that they are regularly coached by the same person for a defined period of time.

Condições: One essential risk prevention measure is to select the applicants very carefully. Accordingly, requirements such as age, motivation (by e-mail) and German language skills (by telephone or Skype) are assessed the first time applicants get in touch with us. During the volunteer service, tutors meet the volunteers and discuss how they are getting on, the work situation, any difficulties, etc. This helps to detect any conflicts early on so that solutions can be worked out together.
