Resumo: (ESC teams project)
The hosting organization is the northernmost of the eight national youth centers in Finland. Youth Centers are supervised by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture in the administration of government youth policy. Our actions comply with the Finnish youth law.

Finnish Youth Centers are specialized in providing a safe and nurturing operating environment for young people to experience, learn, and have adventures that encourage personal growth.
Our values are equality, community, tolerance, multi-culture, respect and protection of life and nature, social, mental, and physical well-being.

The organization's main actions are different kinds of national and international camps, teamwork days for schools, social youth work camps, nature and sport activities, as well as arranging small meetings and parties. Our international youth work includes Erasmus+ youth exchanges and projects, and ESC short- and long-term volunteering projects.


The hosting organization is located in the middle of nowhere, and surrounded by beautiful nature; big lake which will be frozen in January, forest, hills, and wilderness. Nearest village is 10km away, and there is no public transportation. Ride will be arranged to festivals for the work days. Also once a week there will be an opportunity to buy groceries from village.

Tarefas: In the first week the team will have On-Arrival training and start planning Snow World at Youth Center.

In the second week the team will go to the village to help out and prepare the indigenous peoples' film festival.

In the third week, the team will continue working on the Snow World and organize a social event there for local families (fun, games and pancakes).

Work tasks include physical outdoor work in cold conditions (e.g. shoveling snow the whole day, building snow sculptures, digging snow tunnels)! In addition to that, creative activities such as planning and designing the Snow World.

At Film Festival, volunteers' working tasks outdoors and indoors consist e.g. putting up festival setups and decorations, selling and checking tickets, social media marketing, taking down festival setups, cleaning up, etc.

On the final day, we evaluate the project and arrange some nice farewell activity together. Also, volunteers make social media content to make the project visible all along the project.

Horário: Volunteers work mainly 5 days/week and have 2 days off. There will be also work during weekend and free days during week. Work days last 5-8 hours, except at the festival, there can be longer days as well. Youth Center sport hall and fire-huts are available to use when they are not booked for customers.

Condições: Accommodation: In hostel-like apartment with 3 bedrooms, shared well- equipped kitchen, common living room area, shared showers, and toilets. There will be 1-2 people per bedroom. From volunteer, it requires patience and flexibility, as you will share apartment and room with other people during the whole project. Sauna is in different building and will be booked for certain evenings.

Bedlinen and towel are provided, and there is laundry machine in youth center.

Food: Whenever there are customer groups in the youth center that have meals included, volunteers will have ready meals in center’s dining room. For those days when ready meals are not served, volunteers cook by themselves in the apartment and shop groceries from Inari village.
The organization provides food money. The amount of food money depends on how many days there are without ready meals.
