Perfil: Age: 18-30

Tarefas: The role of the EVS volunteer is undoubtedly considered by the association a surplus value for all the parts involved in the project as well as an intercultural enrichment that can improve the quality of our guests’ social life.
The volunteer is an active interlocutor for the operators and for the hosts who can experience at first hand and develop their knowledge about different countries and cultures. The volunteer has the chance to organize new projects and activities with the hosts and to promote the intercultural learning (that is an object foreseen by the EVS program, as well).

We would be happy to offer to the volunteer the opportunity to know and experience a different culture and to give him/her the chance to achieve cultural, linguistic and personal growth through specific tasks inside the center and through general experiences acquired during his/her service.

We give to the volunteer the possibility to be involved in all these activities. At the beginning of the service, the volunteer will work under the supervision of the operators but later the volunteer will be also welcome to organize new activities autonomously.

The association runs a house hosting a community of disabled people (18 persons with psycho disease) with social-reeducating-rehabilitating purposes and an apartment of 4 people living together in order to experience the daily life and to gain personal independence. Professional operators and national volunteers work in the community in order to help the guests in the rehabilitation and in using strategies for social interaction.The aim is to make the guests achieve independence in daily life and to support the guests’ families.

The daily center is open from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, while the residential center gives assistance 24 /24 hours all year.

In the daily center the hosts can do different activities which give them the possibility to improve their capacity, through the maintenance and consolidation of the autonomy and self personal care, and through the attention for own environment and for the social relationships.

In the residential center, beyond the activities and therapies run in the daily center, we manage all the aspects connected with the hosts’ hospitality, included the recreational activities during the weekend.

The volunteers will be encouraged to integrate himself/herself in the local community, to meet other person and to be involved in the local activities.

Volunteer will be mainly involved in these activities:

• Activities connected with the development of the individual autonomy ( the aim of all the centers’ activities is to improve and develop the autonomy of our hosts, with regard to the autonomy in using the transports, in the domestic activities, in using money, in the interpersonal relations, in the auto-determination in general) ;

• Activities linked to the personal care of the hosts (tooth brushing after the meal, having a shower after the sport activities, etc.) ;

• Activities connected to stimulation of physical capacities (hippo therapy, swimming, psychomotor activities, manual laboratories: felt, art, mosaic, woodwork) and linguistic capacities (through the use of laboratories: orthographic laboratory to develop the linguistics skills and laboratory of foreign languages to further and improve the knowledge and the integration with other cultures) ;

• Activities connected with the eye-watching during the hosts’ breaks (promoting recreational activities and personal relationships throughout the daily breaks) ;

• Activities related to the house setting and with the planning of the daily timetable (volunteers will be involved in the staff meetings for the planning of the week activities and in the organization of the common space to be used with the hosts) ;

• Activities connected with the social activities run inside and outside the center (participating in the public meetings during exhibitions; participating in stage shows, going out for movies or music concerts, trips to touristic places, etc.);

• Activity connected with theatre and cultural laboratories (after an educative and formative path, in the occasion of specific holidays the association organizes theatre and music shows in which it is welcome the active participation of the volunteers).
When having group activities, the 2 volunteers plan their tasks with the staff of the project.
Each volunteer takes over different tasks and comply them with the overall supervision of the operators.
Some activities can be done by both volunteers, when an extra support is needed and/or when all the hosts are together and only one working group is run.

Moreover we are open to the promotion of new activities and new projects connected to the volunteer’s personal experience

In the framework of the evs project Volunteering as a chance for growing, volunteers hosted at the organization, will be encouraged to promote and to implement new volunteering activities.
The host organization as well will create new volunteering opportunities for evs volunteer.

The host organization as well will create new volunteering opportunities for EVS volunteers.

Horário: Working Hours: Volunteers will do their EVS project for a maximum of 35 hours for 5 days per week.

Days off: They will have 2 days off every week and 2 days off per month.

Condições: Food: The volunteers can cook their own food in the community for breakfast. From Monday to Friday the lunch is in the center with the host and the operators at 12:00 AM. The lunch is considered a socializing moment in which relationships between volunteers and hosts might be set up.

The preparation of dinner takes place at about 7:30 PM in the kitchen of Gruppo Appartamento and occurs with the help of hosts and the volunteer. In specific cases (for example the participation to the language course) the meals’ timetable can slightly change. The menu as well as the activities, are planned weekly. It is necessary to organize the weekly shops for the daily center and the Gruppo Appartamento.

The shops for the two centers are made in different moments, so that it is very important that the volunteer talk to the referent operators in case of food allergies or particular diet.

Accommodation: The association provides volunteers with a room with a shared bathroom in a separate apartment located in the center’s building. The room is at the second floor of the daily center and next to the Gruppo Appartamento. The kitchen is in a shared space and conceived to be co-used by both the volunteers and the hosts of the Gruppo Appartamento, so it is fundamental to respect the timetable to use and to keep it tidy. In this way it is possible to set up a good and responsible cohabitation.

Local Transport: Volunteers live and work in the same place therefore there is no need of public transport. However we would like to arrange them a bus puss so that they can feel free to move easily in the territory.
