Resumo: The organization is located in the city and all its activities have the goal of explaining the scientific culture in a fun and attractive way to all, from youngest to eldest. In fact, our motto is “welcome to the organization, enjoy and learn.”

The organization is visited by all, but mostly schools and the residents, so it is a unique environment merging into a society as cosmopolitan and open as the city is. The working environment is mainly young, because along with the monitors, many young students, graduate and qualified youngsters choose to do their internships and collaborations in the organization.

The organization serves different areas of the project’s structure / framework, which consist of:

• Promoting participation and intercultural learning.
• Youth information.
• Promoting volunteering.
• Promoting young people’s entrepreneurial skills and innovation.
• Promotion and support of groups, clubs and youth association activities in the city.
• Participation in exchange projects, volunteering and experiences with other
countries where young people are the main actors.

As to the place of residence of the volunteer, we have provided one in the city near the organization.

Perfil: The organization is looking for a volunteer with the following profile: a responsible person with motivation and initiative, who wants to participate in the museum activities, who will be willing to share his/her cultural perspective while performing them, with disposition to a collaborative work, and who will be committed and interested in working with a diverse and wide range of public. The organization will pay special attention to the ones who have less opportunities.

The organization is a science museum, but the volunteer need not to have scientific knowledge although it will be considered useful. Nonetheless, it will never be an indispensable and compulsory requirement. The same happens in what refers to computing and/or audiovisual skills (video recording, taking pictures, image softwares or video edition, as Photoshop or Premiere, web design and so on).

We are looking for enthusiastic and open-minded volunteers, with a receptive attitude to share experiences and ideas. We would like to host someone who really wants to have a volunteering learning experience, and who is willing to develop himself/herself from a personal and professional point of view. We search for young people that feel the meaning of “being a volunteer” and want to carry out this service as better as possible, with a positive attitude and, above all, with motivation and initiative to develop his/her own personal projects within the activities of the organization.

Age: 17-30

In the event of planning an activity for the weekend, and always with the consent of the volunteer, he/she would have additional days of holidays.

All these activities do not, in any case, replace any job since the organization consists of a structure based on a modus operandi and of permanent staff independent to the incorporation of volunteers.
