Resumo: The organization is located in a town with a population of 24,500 inhabitants in the District of Ravensburg, between the Alps, the Lake of Constance and the Swabian Alb. Together with the southern neighbour cities of Ravensburg and Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance (Bodensee), it forms a medium-sized infrastructural centre. The town is seat of the university and of the teachers' college.

In 1056 a Benedictine abbey was founded at the settlement.The abbey became one of the wealthiest monasteries in southern Germany, owning about 306 km² of rich estates.

Since the late 18th century mechanical engineering has traditionally been the main industry branch in the region. Based on the demand of the paper and textile industry (now widely reduced) and a long tradition of flour, paper and other mills many engineering factories arose at the end of the 19th century.

Ravensburg is today a thriving shopping town in the wealthy region of Upper Swabia. Unemploy-ment is relatively low.
To ensure regional mobility European Volunteers get a monthly ticket which is valid for all public transport associations in the district of Ravensburg.

Perfil: The volunteer should have an interest in social work and should be open to interact with disabled children and young people who are threatended with social exclusion. Previous knowledge of work with disabled children and young people could be helpful.

It's necessary for the volunteers to be sociable and outgoing, to have enthusiasm, and to be tolerant to foreign cultures. Volunteers should be able to act on their own initiative, but also cooperate in a team.

Volunteers should have a basic knowledge of German and the willingness to learn german lan-guage.
A driving license class B would be helpful.

Candidates should describe their motivation for a voluntary service in this project in a detailed motivation letter.

Important are neither national or social background, gender, language skills nor level of education, but a convincingly motivation.

Tarefas: During their activities volunteers will learn about social and emotional necessities of disabled people.
Volunteers will gain competences in social care for disabled people.

Having sole responsibility for design and realisation of leisure facilities will enhance self-assurance and self-confidence of volunteers.

Integration in a foreign culture and the self-determined life of the local community will afford volun-teers a personal orientation and increase the development of future perspectives.
Participation in internal professional development activities will provide volunteers with specialised knowledge of the health care and nursery system.

Volunteers can take part in a language training for European Volunteers arranged by the coordinat-ing organisation. The aim of the language training is the command of oral every day speech with a special focus on the terminology of social care. Through language training the volunteer should be enabled to manage typical situations of daily life they will be confronted with during their voluntary service.

Tasks:
Volunteers get the opportunity to contribute - under guidance of staff members - to the support and leisure time program in the various departments of the host organisation. Volunteers can introduce their own ideas and abilities like artificial skills, computer literacy, graphic design, mechanical skills, music playing etc.

In the beginning the volunteer will only assist the groupleaders, later she/he will take on responsibil-ity - as far as admitted by legal liabilities.

Emphatically volunteers are invited to bring in their own ideas.

Staff members will appreciate all ini-tiatives to develop additional proposals for leisure time activities and will support planning and reali-zation. Volunteers could develop their ideas for new games, activities or stories into a personal pro-ject if they so wished - creative ideas are always welcome.

Volunteers are expected to accomplish a fulltime voluntary service of 35 hours per week. Overtime doing will be balanced by additional freetime.
