Resumo: The hosting organization is partner in the world-wide youth exchange organisation, American Field Service, represented in over 55 countries all over the world. The programmes include:

– 3 or 12 months high school stay abroad for young people between 15-18 years (hosting and sending)

– 6 or 12 months programmes for people above the age of 18 spending their gap year taking one or two semesters at a college or university abroad

– 1 to 12 months programmes for people above the age of 18 doing voluntary work in Europe, Africa, Asia, Central America, South America and Australia (hosting and sending)

The organization is a voluntary based, non-profit NGO, independent of political and religious interest. In Denmark the organization started in 1957 and is today the oldest and largest non-profit exchange organisation in Denmark with 16 staff members, more than 46 local chapters (including Greenland and the Faroe Island) and more than 2.000 members, many of whom work as volunteers for the organisation.

For more than 50 years the organization has organised exchanges between almost 50 countries of the world. We have extensive experience in intercultural learning and a network throughout the country to ensure proper support to all participants hosted in Denmark. The organization has been involved with the European Solidarity Corps (previous EVS) programme since 1997 both as a sending, hosting and coordinating organisation.

Perfil: The ideal volunteer should have experience with and interest within:

Intercultural learning and communication
Marketing and if possible experience with desk-top publishing (Indesign, Adobe programs, etc).
Social medias – how to communicate to the target group through medias such as facebook, You-tube, etc.
Ideally experience as a volunteer in a volunteer-driven organization
A good command of English as well as PC literacy (Word, Excel) are essential.

We prefer a creative person who enjoys speaking in front of a crowd and who is motivated to work in a dynamic intercultural atmosphere. He/she should be prepared to work also in the evenings and weekends. The volunteer should also be diligent and reliable and willing to work overtime in peak seasons.

It is crucial that the volunteer is motivated to live with a Danish host family and take an active part in the family life. This might also mean that there will be some commuting between home and office.

Naturally it will be an advantage if the volunteer has experience working in volunteer-drive organisations – e.g. in a youth organisation such as our organization.

The volunteer will have access to and will work with publications and on-line information about different types of youth and voluntary service programmes and implementation guidelines, which will enable him/her to gain knowledge about such programmes and the issues at stake when implementing international youth exchange and voluntary service programmes.
