Perfil: The main principle is volunteers’ strong motivation to take part in our activities. Work in the office greatly relies on meetings and communication with people so naturally candidates should have some communication skills, to be open minded and with strong affiliation to people. Volunteers should be ready to learn how to work independently as well as in a team. We expect to receive active volunteers, willing to take initiative in volunteering promotion and development.
The recruitment process usually takes place as follows: project description with dates and free places is announced online (website, email) among our sending partners and young people who have contacted us before; Deineta selects the future volunteer(s); All of the selection participants are informed about the selection results. In case sending organizations are identified prior to specific volunteers, pre-selection takes place in the sending country, and afterwards candidate applications are forwarded to the host organization.
Deineta is open to work with any organization accredited to send EVS volunteers and other organizations from other regions which have experience and are able to follow EU “Youth in Action” philosophy in practice.

Tarefas: As EVS hosting organization in terms of service and learning opportunities we can offer volunteers the following:

• Getting acquainted with and exploring various volunteering networks, movements and programmes around the world (Alliance of European Voluntary Service organization, European Youth Forum, International Cultural Youth Federation and others)
• Acquiring/improving skills of international communication (correspondence with Deineta’s international partners and work camp volunteers)
• Acquiring/improving skills of online publishing (webpage maintenance, social networking, blogging, Skype correspondence)

• Improving skills of self-management (planning and arranging the scope of available activities, smaller projects, personal initiatives)

The role that volunteers undertake in Deineta as a host organization will change gradually as EVS progresses over time. From passive observers volunteers are integrated in the organization step by step and become independent in their work, have personal fields of responsibility and concrete tasks. They become more confident to initiate their own small projects, actions and campaigns alongside the planned schedule. In general EVS gives a lot of space for personal growth too. Volunteers are able to experience challenges of independent life, they become more mature and responsible; acquire a new perspective for building personal future plans.
Working in our office volunteers will become part of the team; they will cooperate with employees, local and international partner organizations, will receive personal and task related support.
The activities in which the volunteers could be involved are centred on communication and publishing, presentations/special events, and assistance in Deineta’s regular activities.

• Maintenance of Deineta’s webpage, internet blog and social networking accounts (publishing volunteering and youth related information, replying to comments, hyper-linking related content on the world wide web)
• Correspondence with Deineta’s international partners and volunteers
• Designing and preparation of printed materials (promotional leaflets, brochures, posters)
• Taking and regularly publishing live stories/interviews of volunteers, organizations and other EVS beneficiaries.
• Assistance for the staff working on EuropeAid project events
Proposed tasks for the volunteer joining Presentations/special events:
• Regular visits to local schools/universities/youth clubs to give presentation about short and long term and international volunteering in general

The work load in the office depends on the season so our aim is to find and maintain a good balance between tasks suitable for the volunteer and the needs of our organisation. During the months of September – February volunteers will be more concentrated on communication and publishing. From March till June, having received enough practice on international youth affairs, volunteers can increase their contribution towards presentations, special event organizations and implementation of personal initiatives. During July and August the volunteers will spend the greater part of their time assisting the running of our voluntary work camp season.
