Resumo: Initially the volunteer’s time will be very structured, but they will be offered the opportunity to develop a project
which is of particular interest to them, such as an arts or cultural project, a language course or sports group. We
will support the volunteer in developing this, but will allow them to take the lead in it, thereby improving their
organisational and development skills.

Primarily the volunteer will spend their 30-35 hour working week at activities in their project. This may also
include language and role training, volunteer team meetings, staff team meetings or team days, etc.
Timetables/rotas are agreed in consultation with the EVS volunteer, the project manager/supervisor and the
coordinator/mentor. Annual leave entitlements accrue at the same rate as a other project team members (i.e.
EVS volunteers get approximately 2 days of annual leave for every month volunteered, and also are entitled to
take Bank Holidays).

Once the volunteers have settled into their roles, they are also given the opportunity to diversify their project if
they wish to. This may entail main project for three days a week and contributing to another project for one day a week. In the past volunteers have got involved in other aspects of the organization work in which they took particular interest.

Volunteers are offered a single room in a shared house. We currently let one 7-bedded house with 2 separate
bathrooms on the South Circular Road, near St. James’s Hospital which is located a short distance from the City Centre. The house is fully furnished and equipped with bedding, pots and pans etc.

Volunteers will be provided with a weekly pocket money allowance in Euros. Initially, the allowance will be paid
weekly initially, by either the mentor or the member of staff on duty, when the mentor is not working. Volunteers
will be given support to obtain an Irish bank account so that direct deposits can be arranged.
At the project where volunteers are working, their meals will be provided on activity. On top of this volunteers will
be given a food allowance (included in weekly pocket money payment). Volunteers will prepare their own meals
in their house, in a kitchen, shared with other volunteers.
The volunteer attend structured English language training (where required). A young person arriving as a
volunteer may initially wish to undertake an in-house provision, before gaining the confidence to move onto a
more structured college provision. An in depth language assessment will be completed to determine the most
appropriate linguistic training for each volunteer. We will provide inhouse training and we will also try and
facilitate them to gain competences or qualifications in other areas of interest.
