Perfil: Organisation has no fixed profile of candidates to be our EVS volunteers, we are just looking for young people who would be motivated and interested in volunteering in Georgia. GYE doesn't't have any guidelines for gender and age. No special skills are required, our main criterion is applicant's motivation and reasons why he or she would like to participate in the project activities and volunteer in Georgia. Preference will be given to volunteers who are really willing to work with children and youth, organize their activities.
Candidates should speak in English Language.

Tarefas: The association is looking for 4 volunteers.

The volunteers will join the team as additional members and get involved as much as it's possible for EVS volunteers. At the beginning of their Service time, EVS volunteers will be prepared for work from "step by step" programme. First they will gain an insight into working methods, internal procedures, rules and regulations. Bearing in mind volunteers previous experiences, interests, strengths and potentials, they will be invited to take over responsibility for special tasks and for realisation of own activities. In all activities there is always an implementation "traineeship" - there is an appointed leader who is fully responsible for running the activity. This person will explain to the volunteer his/her responsibility and will provide training or any kind of help, if needed.
