Resumo: The social cooperative is located in a town that is very lively from an economic and cultural perspective. Local economy is based on the service sector, small industries and on the agricultural sector. The town is also a venue of the prestigious University; in particular, the presence of the School for Interpreters and Translators and of the faculty of International and Diplomatic Sciences has contributed to the creation of a young environment which has stimulated the cultural life of the city in terms of theatres, cinemas, parties, etc. and which is undoubtedly a positive aspect for the integration of International volunteers in the local community also thanks to the present of many foreign students arrived in town with other European programmes. Moreover, due to the presence of other ethnic groups came into town mainly for working reasons, the local population is beginning to develop an awareness of the European and international dimension of the city and of the necessity to manage different cultural realities.

Perfil: The volunteers we would like to host may be of both sexes but, given the age of the young people hosted in our structures, it would be better if they are 18 years old. The volunteers will be recruited through direct contact with the sending organizations with which the organization has cooperated in the past or with which it will establish new partnerships; it’s important for the selection that the volunteer satisfies the following requirements:
• to be a good listener;
• to be sensitive to the approach with children and adolescents, in an educative perspective;
• to have some artistic ability that can be shared, because as said above, the volunteer will have the possibiliy to implement his own activities.

Depending on the circumstances we may ask the volunteer a medical certificate or a penal certificate to prevent any problem due to the contact with children and adolescents in our centres.
Given the particular situation of the centres, where in general the young people cared for have economical, social and cultural problems in general, an ideal volunteer should be someone mature, responsible and tollerant.

Tarefas: Tasks of the volunteers in the day centre children/adolescents:
Each centre will host one volunteer and they will be mainly involved into recreational and leisure activities but also in supporting the adolescents in their studies (according to competences). Since the centres open in the afternoon, the volunteers’ service will take place in this part of the day except in particular occasions in which activities are organized also during the week-end.

Here is an example of a typical day in the centre:
13:30 lunch (with the children who requested it)
14.30 host ceremony (greetings and presentation)
14.45 assembly
15.00 studying activities
16.45 break
17.00 workshop activities, games, sport, etc.
18.30 closure

Tasks of the volunteers in the house for children/adolescents:
Each community will host one volunteer and their tasks will be mainly linked to recreational and leisure moments but also to assist young people doing their homeworks. Volunteers will also support the educators during transport to their sports activities; moreover, they will help in the tyding up of the houses as it is one of the educative tasks of the adolescents hosted.
Here is an example of a typical day in the centre:
ORE 7: wake up, breakfast and preparation to go to school
ORE 7,45: transports (mini van, bus or bycicle for those whose school is near).
ORE 8,30 - 13: tyding up and planning of the afternoon.
ORE 13,30: lunch.
ORE 14,30: free time and tyding up of the kitchen according to established duties
ORE 15: study and homeworks. In this part of the day, the adolescents are guided by an educator and a volunteer who encourage and support them in the realization of the school work. When extra effort is needed, individual lessons are organized to help the adolescents.
ORE 17,30: sport and leisure activities.
ORE 19: dinner and organization of the evening activities.
ORE 20,30: board and table games, watching movies, telling stories or episodes, going out, etc.
ORE 21,30/22,30: moments of revision and sleep.
This timetable may vary during summer and other holiday periods.

The activities of the volunteer will cross over all the activities of the organisation, but mainly, they will concern the kids: first because when you do not know the language, it is easier to communicate with children, then because one of the goal of the presence of the volunteer in our organisation is open up the mind of the kids to Europe and to its differences.
The program of the activities of the volunteer will be very clear. Anyway the more s/he will want to do something on her/his own, the more s/he will be able to do so
