Resumo: * The hosting organization is part of a licenced Austrian not-forprofit agency. It is a residential group home that assists children and young people who for varying reasons can no longer remain with their parents. Given their difficult backgrounds, most of the children exhibit signs of trauma to varying degrees.
* Typically, the children who live at the Mikado house are between the ages of nine and 18 years of age. Some are also assisted in independent living until they are 21.
* The aim is to allow children and teenagers in the rural area to grow up in asheltered, caring and nurturing environment.
* At present, the Mikado team is comprised of about 12 dedicated professionals. There is an even ratio between male and female staff and those who may be considered young and old. Six nationalities are represented within the staff team

Perfil: We are looking for a volunteer who is between 20 and 30 years old, can identify with the project description and is willing to enrich our team for one year. We would like to host an enthusiastic and open-minded volunteer, who is willing to play an active part in working with the children. Team work and the ability to reflect on one’s own actions and attitudes are essential.
The ability to speak German is an advantage, but the willingness to learn essential. This may include learning the basics of German before the start of the project in order to be able to communicate with the children. Without German knowledge, a medium level of English is important in order to communicate with the team and coordinator.
We expect our volunteer to be an honest, trustworthy and discrete person as many aspects concerning children must be held confidential.

Tarefas: The volunteer will assist the staff in caring for the children and young people in their daily life.
Working hours will be a maximum of 35 hours a week, mainly in the afternoon and early evenings (the above-mentioned German course will be counted as working time). At times the volunteer may be required to work the whole day. The bulk of the hours will be during the week but also may include weekends. Precise hours will be arranged between the staff and volunteer.

Proposed tasks for the volunteer:
• Assisting with tasks such as: cooking, helping the children with the homework, accompanying them to appointments, and performing household tasks
• Taking part in leisure and free time activities
• Organising and taking part in special activities such as trips to the theatre, 2 day summer cycling tour, walking tours or similar
• Developing and implementing his or her own projects, according to the volunteers interests and experience.
• Solving conflicts with the children, learning from staff about the pedagogic concept, taking part in team meetings
