Resumo: (Volunteering team project)

Youth Centre is a National Youth Centre supported and observed by the Ministry of Education. We are specialised in youth work and our function is to develop the methods used in the field of youth work. We work under the Finnish law covering youth work and by the Ministry of Education.

Our goal is to offer youngsters the possibilities of learning in multicultural environment and finding their own strengths and abilities through international activity.
Our work consists of iInternational mobility for young people and those working with young people, voluntary services, training courses, International Club activities, advice and guidance on international programmes, project activities and coordination of volunteering projects.

This is a European Solidarity Corps volunteering teams project. During the project, 10 volunteers from various European countries will take part in summer camps at Youth Centre as assistant leaders. Working alongside experienced camp leaders and staff, volunteers will help plan and facilitate engaging workshops and activities while contributing to a safe and supportive environment for local children. The summer camps offer exciting, multicultural experiences for children aged 7–14, combining adventure, learning, and fun, alongside traditional summer activities such as swimming, play, and games.

Perfil: Age: 18-30

The participants are young people seeking new possibilities to their lives.
The volunteers may be unemployed, face educational, economic, social, or physical challenges or have lower language skills. No previous experience is required. What matters most is motivation, openness, and an interest in working with children in a summer camp environment.

We offer the volunteers:
- a chance to live in a new culture
- possibility to do volunteer work for the local community
- a chance for intercultural learning
- a project were you can use your creativity
- opportunity to meet other international volunteers and make friends
- personal development and the opportunity to build new skills

Volunteers should be prepared for:
- working with children both indoors and outside
- flexibility and changes in daily routines
- nature-based surroundings (including forests and mosquitoes)
- adventures
- new experiences

We expect from volunteers:
- flexibility
- respect
- ability to follow the
- rules and schedule

Tarefas: Volunteers will take part in summer camps that are open to local and refugee children. During the camps, children spend time together through traditional summer camp activities such as playing, singing, swimming, dancing, and outdoor games.
Summer camps are an easy and meaningful way to bring together children from different cultural backgrounds. Through shared activities and teamwork, children can get to know each other, build friendships, and create positive memories. At every camp, there will always be an experienced camp leader present.

Volunteers are therefore not responsible for running the camps on their own.
Together with the camp leader (work leader), volunteers will help plan and facilitate workshops and activities.
Together with the staff, volunteers contribute to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment.

This means that volunteers are also expected to be responsible and reliable adults for the campers, follow safety rules and be mentally present during working days. It means for an example that volunteers cannot use their phones during working hours, and are expected to focus fully on the children during activities.

Horário: The volunteer will work 5 days a week, approximately 35 hours. The working hours are usually from 8.00-15.00 including lunch break, but sometimes work times can vary depending on events that we are taking part
in. In that case, work can also be in evening time for example from 14.00-20.00 or 7.00- 14.00.

Condições: Meals
During on-arrival training volunteers will get breakfast, lunch, dinner and evening snack from our kitchen. After that lunch is served during working days and volunteers get food money to prepare the other meals themselves.

Accommodation
Accommodation is organised in Youth Centre in beautiful summer house Villa Marina by the sea. It is a simple house with no modern comforts: there are not indoor toilets, no indoor shower or running water in the house. Water is available from the water tap outside and there is an outdoor shower and sauna tent. House is heated with the help of the fireplace and electric radiators. Therefore, it requires patience and flexibility, as volunteers must adapt to a modest living environment. On the other hand, the Villa has a beautiful environment and offers participants a unique chance to try out traditional Finnish summer cottage lifestyle.

Pocket and food money
The pocket money is 7 € / day which will be paid in parts in cash during the project. Food money is paid every week in cash and divided between cottages.
