Perfil: The main recruitment criterion for the project the centre is flexibility, ability to work in multicultural environment and work individually. Volunteer should be open for cultural diversity and express tolerance towards cultural differences, because in our centre we work in a multicultural environment and we receive visitors of different national origins. We especially welcome young people who are interested in human rights, issues of refugees and asylum seekers and enthusiastic about community service development,
The centre is a non-political organization, it does not stand for or support any political party of Moldova and is not involved in any political campaigns. That is why we expect the EVS volunteer to respect our internal policy and to be politically neutral and to avoid participation in any political actions or strikes in Moldova.
Although the centre has a multinational team, speaking different languages, the working languages are mostly Russian and English. That is why we encourage volunteers to study the Russian language in order to easily communicate with staff members and beneficiaries.
