Tarefas: Volunteers main tasks are related with work in the local youth centre, however as the community is very small, (s)he will be involved in many other activities related with the leisure time etc. Following there will be given brief overview of the activities planned for the volunteer.

Working with youth, EVS volunteers main activities are connected with assisting the youth worker: help to organize events for kids and youngsters - art, handicraft and music activities, outdoor and indoor activities, intercultural evenings etc.
While the volunteer is in the office he/she will have the option to choose which activities and task he/she wishes to participate in, this allowing for the personal interests of the volunteer to be taken into consideration. We hope this level of flexibility will provide a large variety of activities for the volunteer, while broadening the personal experiences of the volunteer.

The option for a personal project will always be available to the volunteer, together with the assistance of his/her mentor a personal project can be developed. It could be organising camps, youth projects, starting with new study group or something else.

Normally volunteer will have free time on the weekends, but due to some activities the volunteer maybe required to participate in activities outside the normal working hours.
