Resumo: The hosting organization is a small non-profit organisation, established in 2017. We strive towards sustainable communities - those empowered to take care of themselves, individuals within them, and the world around them. Our main purpose is to empower young people with the skills they need to become independent, decisive, courageous, and curious adults.

During the pandemic, the organization implemented a program of free online psychological counseling for young people in distress. In 2021, we began the renovation of an abandoned sawmill, where we are developing a rural community center with a particular focus on exploring the therapeutic impact of animals - horses - on vulnerable young people. The property is home to a herd of horses with which we implement various activities with and for young people, and we are renovating the old sawmill into a youth center. Through various activities, community events and workshops, we encourage young people to gain experience in non-formal learning, promote voluntary work, and foster connections among young people.

Our main target group are young people who do not have equal access to activities that bring the greatest benefits to underprivileged young people (such as psychotherapy, equestrian activities, intercultural experiences). This includes young people from remote areas, those facing economic difficulties, those dealing with various addictions, and those from dysfunctional families.

Perfil: Age: 18-30

An intermediate level of English is appreciated as you will work with the local community, but not necessary - we've now hosted volunteers without knowledge of English and are happy to say that they've integrated nicely and learned English along the way! Please note that while there are always super-friendly locals coming for a visit and a cup of coffee, this is a rural place without much happening in the sense of culture/events so it's a bit different from living in a city. Horsey experience is not necessary as our herd is quite low-maintenance, but we've learned from experience that we don't always have a lot of time to teach you the basics of riding and working with horses if that's your goal - some independence in this area and a desire to plan your own learning is more welcome than actual skills (we have a lot of horsey books and local volunteers who'll be happy to teach you the basics!). When applying we appreciate you using your own words instead of chatGPT, this makes us want to cry.

Tarefas: Volunteers will help with various tasks: horsey activities with children and young people (summer camps, workshops, trips, etc), care of the horses, gardening & renovation (optional - if interested), event organisation (community picnics, youth center activities, intercultural events, etc), management of social networks (FB, ig, videos).

Condições: Volunteers have their own room at the center, food, monthly pocket money, access to a car and bike, the possibility to learn horsemanship skills - or just spend time with our wonderful herd - and the chance to be a part of a very rural, welcoming community surrounded by nature (and animals - our animals love to smother volunteers with love
