Resumo: Our city is young, but, of course, is not that young as the volunteers we invite to visit us. The city was founded by a businessman who constructed the fist steel plant and coal mines in this territory. Since that time, the city evolved into a huge industrial centre with over 20 coal mining companies and several metal enterprises. At the same time, there is an active cultural and social life. It is a home for 3 professional and several amateur theatres. There are many cultural facilities in the city such as philharmonic, circus, 3D planetarium, museums, houses of culture and sports and many parks. It is very green city. Those who like dolphins will be impressed by Dolphinarium. Besides, soon new Aqua Park will open its door for everyone. We even have our own Broadway. This is a city of students. There are about 40 higher and vocational educational facilities. For dinner, one can choose from about 150 restaurants and cafes. The city currently has a population of about 1 million citizens. Its face is really multinational (Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians, Greeks, Jews, Tatars, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Georgians, etc).

One will be fascinated by the night view the stadium. Our office is located in the centre; therefore, it is very easy for volunteer to get to the work place. We will provide well-equipped work place in the office with a free access to Wi-Fi, printer, scanner; so, volunteer will be able to use own laptop (or office PC if needed). Working hours of the office are from 9:00 to 18:00 from Monday to Friday. If an event takes place at weekend, volunteer will get additional day-off during a week. We plan to involve volunteers 5-6 hours in a day, including 2-3 hours of work in our office and 3 hours in the offices and venues of our partners, schools and orphanages. Volunteers working hours will depend on type of activity and project (some of the schools have classes in the morning, other – at the evening), but no more than 5-6 hours per day. In the office, volunteers will work together with members of our organization (Project Managers, local volunteers); in schools and orphanages volunteers will work with teachers, coaches, psychologists, local volunteers.

Perfil: We would like to host young people, regardless of gender or ethnicity, enthusiastic and inspired by desire to develop themselves in different areas thought volunteering, who are fascinated by inter-cultural communication and dialogues with Ukrainians, who want to share their experience and to get new skills and positive expressions. We will share the information about EVS on our web-site and our pages on social networks, and also through special web-resources for EVS volunteers, students, NGOs and networking; therefore, everyone will have equal accessibility and a chance to participate.

Both long-term and short-term volunteers will attend all trainings and other events conducted during the period of their service.

The role of EVS volunteers consists in participation in activities hold by the organization and implementation of volunteer own projects; promotion of cultural exchange and European awareness among citizens of the city of all ages, including children and people with disabilities, orphans and homeless children; development active citizenship and to establish communicational bridges between their native countries and cities and Ukraine.

Twice a week, each volunteer will attend Russian or Ukrainian lessons. Once a week, volunteer will conduct English speaking club for the members of our organization.
