Resumo: The hosting organization is based in a town with about 230,000 inhabitants and is located in Saxony-Anhalt, approximately 30 km to the west of Leipzig. The university has formed the town with its cultural and social life. There are several theaters, cinemas, pubs, libraries, bathhouses and clubs. Situated next to the river Saale, it is a wonderful place to walk, relax and enjoy nature.

At the same time, there is a high unemployment rate coming from the changes since 1989 and a considerable part of the younger generation lacks perspectives.

Social segregation is characteristic to the town; the oragnization is located in the "South", that is, a residential area, characterized by high unemployment and families relying on social support. There are several schools in that area, including special schools for disadvantaged people. Apart from school, there are few cultural offers for the kids to spend their free time (except for a library).

Perfil: The volunteer should be able to work independently and to develop ideas for his/her own.
Basic knowledge in the german language would be helpfully as well as experiences in working with children and young people.
gender: no requirements, age: over 18 years until 30 years old, PC-Knowledge is an advantage but no must.

Tarefas: The volunteer will usually work in the afternoon from Monday to Friday. The start of the work will usually be at 12:30. However, this can vary as it depends on the time frames of the activities carried out in late afternoons or evenings. Seldom there can be exceptions for working at the weekends because of special events. In theses cases the volunteer will always get a compensation day or half day off, when working extra hours outside his /her usual schedule.

Volunteer will support the team of social workers during an open time, where the children spend their time as they want in the youth center. Volunteer will also support the team in organizing and facilitating various specific activities, workshops and events according to the needs of the youth center and his/her own interests. After his/her arrival and first weeks of getting to know the place, the work and different activities, volunteer will make an action plan together with his/her work mentors. Volunteer will carry out an own project on the topic of European diversity together with another EVS volunteer who will be in in the family center "Familiencafe Völkchen".
