Resumo: our organization is a prevention service with an open scope of intervention, which means we can be active on the streets or anywhere else.
Our public is made up by children and youngsters (0-18) and our mission is helping them to keep a balanced relation with their social, family and education backgrounds.

We work with and for youngsters to improve their skills in order to foster their autonomy and social emancipation.
Equality of opportunities and equal access to services are values we stand for in our daily activities.

For the urban-life-style-lovers, it is however IMPORTANT to note that our town is located in a semi-rural area.

Perfil: Our project is open to anybody motivated by volunteering and who wishes to be involved in our organisation and work with children and youngsters regardless to their nationality, religion, believes, diploma, professional experience.

We would prefer that our EVS volunteer is at least 20 years old, as s/he will mainly work (mainly but not only :)) under the frame of our project and the youngsters who benefit from this program are in between 15 and 20 years old.

Because the majority of the youngsters attending the activities don’t speak any other language than French, the volunteer must have some skills in French before starting the service.

We expect the volunteer to build an atmosphere of confidence with the youngsters; be ready to involve him/herself in the several tasks we do with them (practical and artistic skills are welcome!); be able to work together with the staff; be interested in social inclusion and youngsters’ support and be ready to bring new ideas, new energy and enthusiasm!
Age: 20-30

Tarefas: Our EVS volunteer will have as main mission to be involved in the project.
The aim of this project is to allow youngsters between 15 and 20 years old in school dropout situation, to have a reflection period about their future by taking part in manual works or social actions which are useful to all our community (environment activities, building and painting activities, open space maintenance activities, activities for elder people, children or refugees, building music instruments for developing countries…).

By taking part in these activities, these youngsters have the opportunity to reflect about their future (go back to school, starting a professional training…).
The activities will take place next to our local partners (a local rest home for elderly people, the asylum seekers center of Melreux, the environmental education center Natagora, Music Found, Accueil Famenne…).
Our aim is that these youngsters will develop personal and social know-how as punctuality, ability to take responsibilities, solidarity, social commitment, better self-esteem and ability to leave in group.

Under the frame of the project:
-From February until June – the EVS volunteer will take part in the activities for the youngsters participating in the program;
-From July until December- the EVS volunteer will take part in the evaluation of the project to understand what to change for the next edition (finding new partners, preparation of workshops, accompanying the youngsters having participated in the project in their future personal initiatives…);
-From January until February – the EVS volunteer will contribute to implement the activities of the project for the next edition and next EVS volunteer.
The volunteer will always work with the educator of the organization who is in charge of the project. Thanks to this, the volunteer will have the opportunity to develop skills of accompanying youngsters, listening to them, supporting them, orienting them…

The volunteer will also develop practical skills (gardening, building, painting…).
According to his/her skills and interests the volunteer will have the possibility to propose other activities and to implement a personal project.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
The volunteer will also be involved in other activities proposed in the organization which mainly concern children and youngsters animation (for example children animation during the summer camps we organize). S/he will also take part in our weekly team meetings and will help us in some administrative task at the office.

Moreover, the EVS activity within the organization is part of an EVS group project that aims to increase European awareness among youth in the town and to maintain a close collaboration among the local youth services. For that reason, some activities will be run with other EVS volunteers (hosted in Marche-en-Famenne by other local youth organizations).

The volunteers will work together especially during special events organized once a year in the town: intergenerational events, youth services opening day…. The volunteers will help to prepare and follow-up these events. In some occasions, they could hold an information stand presenting EVS program and youth exchange opportunities. They could also organize a “European night” in the local youth house to present therefore their country and traditions.
