Resumo: The Town Council has the following areas: Secretary, Intervention, Treasury, Public Funds and Promotion, Hiring, Services and Maintenance, Human Resources and Quality, Socio-cultural and Urbanism.

Within this structure we will focus on the Social Welfare Area, in particular in the Youth and Cooperation section where we are expecting the European Volunteers to join the following departments:
1. Social services, Women, Third age, Immigration.
2. Education
3. Youth
4. Cooperation
5. Environment

Each volunteer will join a programme or a service from one of these departments, so this young person will contribute a European dimension but he/she are not essential in the running of the service/programme.

The organization is located in the South of the Valencian Community (Spain). It has a population of about 230,000 inhabitants. Surface: 326 Km2 (city centre and rural communities). It is the 3rd city in the Community of Valencia for its number of inhabitants, surface area and resources. Over 30% of its population are young people aged between 15 and 30 years (69,702 people).

A walk through its streets allows the visitor to discover an interesting historic centre showing a splendorous past. It was a fortified city of Al-Andalus between the 8th-9th Century until 1265 (Christian Re-Conquest), nevertheless, the original land of the city of town, La Alcudia, was 2 kms. South from the current centre from the Neolithic until the 8th Century, the city of Heliké. The Dame was done during the Iberian Culture. In 209 B.C. the Iberian city becomes a Roman city and in the 1st C.B.C. becomes a Colony of Iulia Ilice Augusta.

9 kms. of beaches, in excellent state of conservation, extend behind large dunes covered with pines.

The UNESCO has declared heritage of the humanity two sites in the town.
The town is an active city, with many enterprising people, with an economic model which has played an important role in the industrial sector (shoes, assistance and complementary industries).

In 2000 an economic project was approved favouring and managing the diversification of the economic activity of the town. To manage this aim, a series of action plans where carried out in the commercial, tourist, agrarian, industrial and service fields of companies.

The place has 11 youth centres in the city and municipalities belonging to it, so there are a lot of young people.

The town has two official languages: Castilian and Valencian.
The volunteers will not live in the same place as the beneficiaries of the project.
The volunteers will share a flat with other young people.

Perfil: The criteria we will consider for the selection process are:

Someone:
-motivated for the project
-who likes to relate with youth and work with them
-who can work in a team
-who considers him/herself able of carrying out the mentioned tasks
-with initiative and motivation during the project

In the Council we have prepared a document where we establish the steps to follow not only for the selection of the volunteer but also to establish tasks in the arrival and welcoming of the volunteer, integration to the city and its environment, training for the tasks, language training, follow up and evaluation, as well as relationship with the mentor, and the task instructor. This document is called Socialising process of the EVS. See annex.

In this document we describe the selection process. First we have a pre-selection based on their cvs and motivation letters. After this the task instructor selects three cvs, we call the three candidates and we have a small interview with them through a questioner and we then make the final selection.
