Resumo: The EVS volunteer will work in the host organization office, which is situated near the centre. However, the work will also include travelling around the Czech Republic, as we want the volunteer to help our national volunteer groups (we have 7 of them all around the Czech Republic). He/she would also get to know the city well as he/she would help local volunteers in different activities in the city.

The city is definitely a very good place where one can spend his/her EVS time as it offers many things to do in free time. The cityis not only a very cultural city where there is a possibility to go to film / documentary / music / dance festival every month but there are also many sport activities including different after-work sport clubs (yoga, footbal, voleyball, etc.), parks for jogging, halls for ice skating or swimming pools. More information about

During some travelling around and helping out our local groups the volunteer will have time to get to know many beautiful parts of the Czech Republic.

The volunteer will have an option to choose his/her type of accommodation – host family or shared flat.
Staying in a host family is a good way how to get to know the Czech culture and style of living. Volunteer will share family’s daily life and become a family member, not a guest.
Staying in a shared flat, volunteer will live with young people (not necessarily Czechs) and s/he will be responsible for buying the food for himself / herself.
In both situations, he / she will be receiving regular income for his boarding.

There are 7 staff members in the office who are all young and enthusiastic about working together with an EVS volunteer (one at a time). The working language in the office will be English as it is the second working language in the office (the first is Czech).

Perfil: Main criteria is strong motivation to take part in acitivities of our organisation and to share the missions and visions of the organization (respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms without distinction as to race, sex, language, religion or social status). As the work is based on meeting different people we would appreciate a person with good communication skills, open minded, enthusiastic with strong affilation to people and willingness to help them. It is also important that the volunteer has a fluent English as he/she needs to communicate in this language with many people every day. Basic knowledge of Czech is welcome but not required.

The EVS position in the organization will be available in EVS database. The recruitment will be open and transparent. Anyone interested in position within our organization is welcome to apply.

The sending organization should work in the similar field as the organization does – it helps to understand each other reality better and there might be a chance for networking during the EVS or after. The main areas for us are intercultural learning, work with youth and world piece mission.
