Resumo:
The organization is situated in a small town with about 40.000 people. It is about 100 km north from Oslo (main capital), and 1 hour to drive (train or car) from Norways main airport. The nearest village about 2.5 km from us. The organization also has one car and three busses The volunteers have the possibility of using the car if they have a valid driving liscense, have driven at least 6 months, and have done the necessary driving agreement together with our car responsible person. The organization lies in a very quiet area in the country that is mainly farmland. We offer, amoung other things, visits to museums, concerts, libraries and swimming-pools, trips into nature and "culture-evenings". We hope that this will help our volunteers learn to know our local history, geography, culture and language.

• The host placement is located in a live-in community, the rules and conditions apply also for the volunteer.
To host a volunteer is a fullfilling situation for the volunteer, our students and all our co-workers. The volunteer project is important for all of us, and we all learn from each other. For our students with special needs it is important to meet other people with other backgrounds, and to experience other youngsters (the volunteers) that have greater capacities than themselves, but are also the same age, it is different than just hearing about other people and countries. To host volunteers gives also the organization the possibility to give several various activities to the students (eks. excursions in the local environment and abroad).
The volunteers must be interested in working with mentally handicapped people, and to learn our language. The volunteers should be ready to participate in all the described tasks in relation to the daily functioning of our school (including farm work and assistance to students). They must also help the students and be an example for them, and have initiative to learn and to live in the community.
We have a no –drug policy and an extremely restrictive alcohol policy.
We strive to take care of our students, each other, the land, our animals, and good values and morals.

• Offer to volunteers in terms of service and learning opportunities.
• The role of EVS volunteers in the host organisation.
• The activities in which the volunteers could be involved and the activities the volunteers could create.


The role of the EVS volunteers will be to join and follow everything we do in our daily tasks and rythmns with the students. For our students, us, the life and dynamics of the place, the volunteers are very important.
Every second weekend the students do not go home, but stay here at Frenning. Together we participate in different activities during the weekend (for example: visit museums, trips onto the nature, shopping, concerts etc). The volunteers join the different groups both to learn and to instructor and support for our students. They are also together with the students in the the students/”lærlinger” houses in the evenings and every second weekend.
The volunteers have 1 free day a week and every second weekend. They are together with our students/”lærlinger” up to 35 hours pr. Week.
Our students are dependent on co-workers and volunteers being around them all the time. None of our students are self-sufficient.
The volunteers participate in the shift work in the residential area with the students 3-4 days a week. Their participation in the school and/or in the work area of our “lærlinger” is also paart of the expected experience we offer. No volunteer is ever allowed alone with no available support with the students/”lærlinger” and is never reckoned a the main or only teacher in a group of our youngsters.
Transportation: If the car is free, the volunteers may use it. They can drive 75km pr. Month free of charge pr. Person. Kilometers over 75 a months cost 3,00 NKr. Pr. Km. Train and buss for longer trips is suggested (as this can also be a good social, and positive environmental/miljø experience). The volunteers have their own telephone in the apartment that they pay for jointly every month (is any bill –the calls to europe are free – house telephone to house telephone from their apartment telephone). Internett is available here for them. They have their own cd-player/radio in the apartment and have access to TV and video most of the time. Skiing equipement and bicycles can be borrowed. Working clothes for farmwork are available.

Perfil: Working with people with mental disabilities is a rewarding and challenging choice for anyone. It is important that everyone has a certain amount of communication possibility. We have values and rules, regulations and goals that we work for. The development of each individual and the community is important. Therefore it is also important that volunteers wanting to come to our project are interested in what and why we do what we do. We have, through the last approximately 10 years, had many volunteers that have learned and grown enormously through the year they have been here, and that we, as an organisation, have had also grown and learned from, and benefited tremendously from.
People- those wanting to volunteer with us should not have serious physical or mental problems. Our project is on a farm, and, for example, if someone has serious asthma or is allergic to animals of any kind, or hay etc, their stay here would not be particularly rewarding or healthy.
Age: 18 until 30 years old

Tarefas:
The volunteers work both in the school and in our day-program for “lærlinger”, and in the student and “lærling” houses. They will take part in all the work and social life at the organization. The volunteers live together in an apartment in the Main house with their own sleepingrooms, and a bathroom, kitchen and living room that they share. This is to be kept nicely at all times by the volunteers that use it.

Living in a community gives an assortment of challenges and joys. Living and working together for the betterment of how and what we offer to our students asks for a certain amount of flexibility both in the day and the week schedule. The school for the students is not open all year round (school holidays), which means that at times there is more to do than the regular 9-4 jobb, at other times less.

Many of the volunteers that have been with us say that working with the students has been more rewarding than they thought, not only did they learn a lot about people with different diagnoses and challenges, but they learned very much about themselves and their own values. They also learned about bio-dynamic farming, a new language, and benefitted greatly from learning how to live together in their own apartment, sharing tasks and social interaction with the other volunteers.

The role of the EVS volunteers will be to join and follow everything we do in our daily tasks and rythmns with the students. For our students, us, the life and dynamics of the place, the volunteers are very important.
