Resumo: The organization is an NGO founded in 1957. Its aim was to help a population that had been hard hit by the effects of World War II, to reconstruct those homes destroyed during the conflict. From the very beginning up until today, The organization has been putting the principle of solidarity into practice in the form of workcamps, as well as promoting peace and better understanding between people from all over the world.

It carries out 3 activities throughout the year which are:
- Technical, financial and social support supplied to families and people in need, those often marginalized from society and to organizations dedicated to collective interest projects, regarding the improvement of housing. The aim is to work along with the owner or renter of the house or flat, and with neighbourhoods’ networks
- Professional integration into building trades through construction site, training course... The aim is to help people with social or professional difficulties to re-enter the job market.
- Promote and develop voluntary by :
 Encouraging the participation in voluntary actions of a diversity of people from organization´s network (LTV, MTV, STV from workcamps, volunteers from the Executive Committee, families who participated in the renovation of their home, neighbourhoods’ networks, people coming from professional integration activities…). The aim is to encourage mobility and participation inside the organization´s network and also abroad through Alliance networks.
 Offering the possibility to participate in workcamps (2 or 3 weeks) in France and abroard, most of the time in the field of housing, ecological constructions, surroundings and standard of living. Workcamps’ projects deal with construction and renovation of buildings such as social centres, community buildings or heritage buildings (old fountains, washhouses, wells, old stone bread ovens…) .
 Coordinating LTV projects. Each regional organisation hosts between 2 and 11 volunteers, men and women over 18 years old who mainly come from France or European Union. The volunteers work together with families and neighbourhoods’ networks to help them renovating their house and reinvesting their homes.

Perfil: The volunteer posts are open to girls and boys over 18 years old from different nationalities and backgrounds, with or without preliminary knowledge in construction, renovation and social work.

Tarefas: They all must be prepared to commit themselves in the fulfilment of the objectives of the organisationand develop their awareness of:
- Working closely with families in need and with organisations involved in community projects
- Participating to associative and local life.
- Working as a genuine part of a team outside traditional structures
- Sharing a different experience of life.

Working with the organisation staff (administrative mentors and technical supervisors) and with the
social worker in charge of the family, the volunteers prepare and assure the technical, financial and
human aspects on the building site. They also try to make the families involved in the improvement of their living conditions by working together on the site.

Although the main purpose in the carrying out of the work, the activity has therefore an important
social and human aspect that makes our intervention different from a professional one.
This in particular includes the participation of the family in the project (choice of the work that has to
be done, the material…) and also in its technical realisation.

Furthermore, when possible the volunteers share the lunch with the family which provides a valuable
time to get to know each other and may create strong links based on trust and sharing.
Volunteers are also fully involved in the organisation life, especially through their participation in the
national and local administrative councils, general assemblies and through the Volunteers’ Collective
which regroups all volunteers. In summer, volunteers can work as group co-leaders on international summer workcamps organised by the association.
