Resumo: The host organization is an organisation (NGO) for (social) welfare work with the aim to prevent social exclusion for various age groups and to stimulate and organize activities focussing on the welfare of the local community. The organisation provides educational, recreational, cultural and sportive facilities in addition to tutoring services and prevention activities for various age-groups.
Examples of activities organised by the host organization are: playgroup-activities (toddlers); creative afternoons for children; cultural events (dance, theatre / drama); disco- (once a month) and club-activities (for children and teens); outdoor and sport bus-activities for children in several neighbourhoods; youth initiative groups; monthly meals for 60 elderly people; summer camps for almost 400 kids (once a year); judo, jiu-jitsu, karate, self-defence for girls, tennis, language trainings (Dutch, Spanish, French and English), computer courses, country-line dance, jazz-dance for various age-groups, body shape, yoga, cooking lessons, cartoon-drawing and painting for kids; “koersbal” (indoor sport) for elderly people; art-exhibitions; bike-events; advise sessions on taxes, law, forms, employment and notary issues; homework-support; political evenings; mediation between (people from the) neighbourhood, municipality and housing-co operations. WVT also participates in various platforms focussing on themes like “respectful society”, “safety in and around the house”, “Moroccan families and integration” and “neighbourhood and liveability”.

The host organization has more than 4.000 members and welcomes between 1000 and 1500 visitors each week. To enable all the activities, the host organization works with 220 (local) volunteers, 29 free-lance teachers, 2 leaders for the toddler-groups, 1 caretaker and 2 assistants for maintenance and cleaning, 1 activity-leader, 1 social-cultural worker and 1 person for management and co-ordination.
Community: Although the village itself is not very interesting, the nature around the village offers a lot of recreational opportunities. In the nearby town of Utrecht you can find lots of pubs, theatres, cinemas, musea and shops as well as the central railway station from where it is very easy to reach other major cities in Holland (for example: Amsterdam is 20 minutes by train). There is a mix of ethnic communities.
Previous experience with YOUTH / EVS: As organisation we hosted 8 EVS-projects (8 volunteers) and a job-shadowing project over the last few years.

Perfil: The volunteer has to be able to work with different age groups. We expect a certain amount of flexibility and creativity, an open attitude, capacity to integrate in the team, a good motivation to learn from experiences, to be open for evaluation and feed-back, taking initiatives while planning activities and show interest in the living conditions of people we are working with. Basic understanding and speaking ability of the English language is a must.
It is possible to apply personally or through a sending organisation. Applications can send by email (include Europass-CV and motivation letter).
