Resumo: The project will take place in a suberb on the northside loacted five kilometers from the centre. The town is considered a disadvantaged area with high unemployment and some social and econmical issues. The area has undergone radical change in the past ten years and has become a model around Europe for area regeneration. A lot of work around social issues continue at present.

The project works closely with the national schools and secondary schools in the area. There are a number of different premises in which the project takes place, but each day the volunteer can expect to engage with 20 – 30 children as part of a larger team and through various youth work programmes and activities such as art, drama, sport, swimming, music etc. Each Project consists of a project coordinator and two – three project workers who will be there to support and guide the volunteer in their daily work. The placement is not a live in community and the volunteer may choose different areas around to reside. Support and assistance will be provided when arranging accommodation.

The project aims to create a learning environment for all the young people it enagaes with, including volunteers. We would envisage a project being 11 months in length for each volunteer, during which time the volunteer would be exposed to different Irish cultures, Irish youth work practices, the English language and some of the Irish Language. The volunteers will be supported in going to formal english language classes and other formal training such as child protection, logic model training and other training courses as they arise for the staff.

Part of the role of the volunteer will be assisting the coordinator with office work, offering learning in administration, computer skills and accounting skills. Social skills will also be improved as the volunteers are required to engage with staff, other volunteers and young people in the project. At the beginning of the project the volunteers will be encouraged to maintain a dairy of their time which will be used for reflection and as a tool for completing the youth pass

Perfil: The volunteer profile will consist of some experience/interest in working with groups of young people and a belief in helping young people achieve their true potential. Work with young people considered at risk would also be diserable. Due to the nature of the work and the young people we work with it is deemed appropriate that volunteers would be aged 21+. The vacant EVS placement will be advertised through the European database on EVS accredited organisations. Interested individuals will be asked to forward a cv and a motivation letter. Following the closing date, a shortlist of possible volunteers will be drawn up based on their experiences/ interests working with young people. From the shortlist, telephone calls will be made to each volunteer. The 3 volunteers which are thought to most closely reflect the volunteer profile will then selected.

We will cooperate with any sending organisation, however, sending organisations that have experinece working with groups of young people will better understand what the project aims to do and have a better understanding of the environment in which the volunteer will be placed. This will offer greater support to the volunteer.

Tarefas: The volunteers will be responsible for the care of young people in the project and engaging with these young people through the different programmes and activities offered by the project. They will work under the direction of a project co-ordinator and be asked to fulfil appropriate duties including, planning and implementation of programmes and take part in evaluations throughout the year. The volunteers will also be asked to complete some office work at different times.The volunteers will work from 11.00am until 18.30pm Monday to Thursday and 11.00am to 13.00pm with one hour lunch breaks each day and the opportuinity for small breaks throughout the day. The volunteers will work during Irish school term and will be off for the school holidays. However they will be asked to work extra hours from time to time to cover residential trips, summer projects and outings during the school holidays. The volunteer will have the opportunity to create their own programmes within the project, with the assistance and guidence of the project coordinator. Examples of this include anti bullying programmes through the medium of art or active lifestyles through the medium of dance/sport. On a daily basis the volunteer will assist the staff at meal times and assist the young people with their homework when required.
