Resumo: The Hosting Organization is based in a town with 230,000 inhabitants and is located in Saxony-Anhalt, approximately 40 km to the west of Leipzig. The University formed the town with its cultural and social life. There are several theaters, cinemas, pubs, libraries, baths and clubs. Situated next to the river Saale it is a wonderful place to walk, relax and enjoy nature.

The social and economic situation is very influenced by a high unemployment rate (about 22%), movement of population especially amongst the youths and the collapse of the economic sector after the "Wende" in 1989.

Office, contact point and after-school care are situated in the city center. A second after-school care center is in the process of planning at the moment for the district.

Perfil: The volunteer should:
- have interest in interaction with people with disabilities
- be able to go up to people with and without disabilities openly and with interest
- have empathy
- bring in creativity, phantasy and like to play
- be motivated to engage in the organization as well as in the social and political life in the town.

There is an open call for the project in the EVS-database. In addition already known sending organisation will be asked to propose candidates from their side. After a preselection on the base of the written application or if applicable on the base of the suggestion of the sending organisation we will have a skype talk with applicabale candidates. On this base the final decision will be made. All applicants will be informed about the results of the decision.

Alle applications will be considered no matter of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, political opinion etc.
For potential projects with youth with fewer oppertunities we want to collaborate directly with sending organisations who deal with this target group.
Age: 18 until 30 years old

Tarefas: The volunteer is not going to replace any existing professional working force, but will support the work of the pedagogical staff by giving attention to one or a small group of children or youth and support the ongoing activities this way. Furthermore, it will be appreciated that the volunteer initiates own activities. The volunteer will be a full member of the team and will be integrated at relevant activities of the association, e.g. celebrations. S_he will take part in the weekly team meetings as well as in the counseling of between all teams of the association (approximately once a month).

The volunteer will be provided with a fixed contact person as a mentor in the hosting organisation with whom s_he will discuss learning goals and achievements concerning work. The volunteer has the opportunity to take part in two professional trainings per quarter together with the employed and honorary staff.

While living and working in a foreign country, the volunteer can build up work experience and intercultural knowledge which can be very important for her_his further life. Supported by the EVS seminars, the consciousness of Europe and European interrelationship can be built up and broadened. Besides this, the volunteer enriches the cultural, social and civil life on site. This is supported by the provision of a tutor (coordinator at the coordinating organisation) and a peer tutor (former volunteer). Furthermore the volunteer will be informed about local actions and events through the networks of the coordinating organisation. S_he will be encouraged to take part together with members of the organization or other European volunteers in civil society (e.g. in actions against racism, volunteer day at the local volunteer agency or the European week).

A reflection of the learning experiences will be framed in regular meetings with the mentor and tutor and the EVS seminars. The volunteer will have the opportunity to work out a Youthpass together with the tutor. For this reason there should be offered at least one meeting every three months.

In addition, the organization encourages the volunteer to connect with other volunteers and will offer their own space according to consultations with them.

During schooldays the volunteer will work in the family supporting service in the mornings and in after school care. During holidays the volunteer will usually be working almost fully in the after school care or support camps.
Usually the volunteers will work from Monday to Friday. When the volunteers collaborate in celebrations or trips on weekends they will get a day off during the week.

Activities inside the family supporting service can be (depending on skills and interests of the volunteer):
- supporting the realisation of events which are taking place (e.g. Halloween party, association celebrations, dragon boat driving etc.)
- supporting the running leisure facilities for youth with disabilities (cooking, making music, sports, handicrafts etc.)
- preparation, organisation and facilitation of own ideas for leisure activities or events for youth with disabilities (supported by the pedagogical staff)
