Resumo: Supporting activities for disadvantaged youth (aged 11-25yrs) and bilingual support in schools.

We work with young people aged 11-25. The service has 22 full time staff working on a variety of different areas.

The Youth Service works in partnership with local groups and individuals, creating opportunities for community action and development through supporting activities for young people.

The Youth Service has a tradition of providing opportunities, training and support for local volunteers to work with young people and has hosted EVS volunteers for over 7 years. There is a team of dedicated youth workers based in a youth centre from which some of the EVS volunteers will work.

The youth service provides a number of opportunities for young people to get involved in such as sports, outdoor activities, youth exchanges, digilabs, Eurodesk, issues based workshops and so on.

The EVS volunteers will have the opportunity to work in all these areas to identify specific interests. In addition to this there are volunteering opportunities to assist polish and portugeuse children and young people in local schools, with the option of also getting involved with youth service activities.

The activity requires 2 volunteers (1 Polish volunteer and 1 Portuguese volunteer). Volunteers work within a variety of Primary and Secondary schools in Merthyr Tydfil to help support young people from migrant communities to settle in to school and understand the lessons. This project has developed due to the high numbers of Portuguese and Polish people coming into Merthyr Tydfil to find work, particularly in Roman Catholic schools.

Volunteers will work in classes with Portuguese and Polish children of migrant workers and help them to understand the teacher better and complete the assigned tasks during the lessons. This project requires volunteers who speak a good level of English and either Portuguese or Polish. Experience of teaching and/or working with children or young people is desirable but not essential.

Volunteers will also have the opportunity to link in with the other youth work projects in Merthyr Tydfil and also on a project called Glamorgan Gates where they will have the opportunity to produce a newsletter specifically for the Portuguese and Polish communities.

This project is a demanding one; volunteers will find themselves in high demand throughout their project as they are often one of only a few people on hand to support the migrant worker communities and young people in schools. This project requires a volunteer who is keen to work with children and young people in a school setting and who is interested in developing their language abilities whilst finding out about migrant worker and immigration issues here in Wales.
