Resumo: The organization is located in a is pleasantly small in size, a mere 95 km by road from North to South. The city is within easy reach by all means of transportation.

The town with a variety of cultural and commercial attractions as well as shopping facilities and places for a great night out. The town’s environment offers beautiful mountains, lakes and hiking trails in the summer and a number of famous winter sport resorts for all kinds of sports. Due to the good transport network in the town all those attractions are easily accessible for EVS volunteers.

The organization is located in a community of 10.000 inhabitants.

Perfil: The volunteers should be open to work with people with light intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems. They have to be interested in working in the fields like a Café, Kitchen, and in creative groups where they work with glass and other material. If the volunteers have a driving licence it would make things easier but this is not necessary. Due to the nature of the people with disabilities involved in the project, a minimum age of 18 is required.

When the Hosting Organisation looks for new volunteers it will work in close cooperation with the Coordinating Organisation. The Coordinating Organisation will promote the vacancies on platforms and with partners of previous projects. Applications are collected and sent to the Hosting Organisation which takes the final decision involving the team.

If the volunteers selected are still motivated and free to come to Austrian and do their EVS in the project, the Coordinating Organisation will apply on the following deadline to the Austrian NA.

After the application is approved the Coordinating Organisation will organise the journey and the stay of the volunteers together with the Hosting and Sending Organisation. Hosting and Coordinating Organisation are prepared to work with any Sending Organisation.

Tarefas: In terms of Service and Learning Opportunities, the volunteers will have a varied role and therefore gain invaluable experience and skills in working with people with intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems. On that course they will learn a lot about their ways of living as well as, disability issues and issues facing the local community. They will also learn how to work with people with disabilities and how to increase their skills and promote their independence. Furthermore they will gain insight to the work at the Café, the Kitchen, the Creative group and the Glass workshop.

What will be the role of EVS volunteers in the Host Organisation:
The role of the EVS volunteers will be to work along with our employees and people with intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems, mainly in one of our four working areas (Café, Kitchen, Creative group and Glass workshop). The volunteer will be encouraged and accompanied to support people to tackle a task for themselves, not to do things for them, in order for them to realize their potential and abilities.
As a volunteer your work will be guided by our professional employees. Also you will get the free space to create and implement your own ideas. We are welcoming new and creative ideas, which we believe adds new perspectives to our organisation.

The activities in which the volunteers could be involved and the activities the volunteers could create in your organisation. Please give examples of typical activities/tasks for the volunteers:
There are lots of different things to get involved with as a volunteer at Loackerhuus. Every working area has its own charm, learning possibilities and challenges. Independent from the working area the volunteer will be involved in the work and attendance of people with light intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems. That’s the core area of the training. Here is an extract of possible tasks:

Café:
The volunteer has the possibility to learn how to welcome the guests, serve meals and
beverages, work at the bar and make preparations for the days work ...

Kitchen:
Helps with the production of cakes and biscuits, supports and instructs individuals with disabilities with everyday domestic activities ...

Creative group:
Supports and instructs individuals with disabilities using creative work e. g. painting, papermaché objects, felt objects ...

Glass workshop:
Supports and instructs individuals with disabilities in the production of glass objects e. g. bowls, decorative objects ... as well as in daily living activities.

Every group has a trained employee who is responsible for the complete organization and needs of the group. This employee is also responsible for the support of the volunteer, for answering any questions that arise and for instructing the volunteer in the given activities. Also the volunteer will get the free space to create and implement own ideas. We are welcoming new and creative ideas, which, we believe, add new perspectives to our organisation.
