Allianssi Youth Exchanges long term volunteer
Our long term volunteer is placed in Allianssi Youth Exchanges office in Helsinki. The volunteer works with a variety of tasks depending on the skills and interests of the volunteers as well as the current activities of the organization. Most of the tasks would be related to our international and intercultural activities, trainings and exchanges. The volunteer will co-operate with our international partners and young people related to volunteer or work experience programs, international trainings and exchanges, community activity projects and other current initiatives. Allianssi office is centrally located in Helsinki.
The volunteer will be a example of European Solidarity Corps program and is expected to actively share her/his experience in Finland through social media channels in order to encourage other young people to volunteer and become active citizens .
Promotion of volunteering locally and internationally in order to enhance the importance of voluntary work in intercultural and non-formal learning and active community are essential in this project.
The volunteer will be a example of European Solidarity Corps program and share her/his experience in Finland through social media channels in order to encourage other young people to volunteer and become active citizens. We look for a volunteer with interest in working with and for young people in organising activities and exchanges as well as preferably with some earlier experience in communication and training activities.
We are looking for a volunteer to preferably stay about 11-12 months.
The volunteer will cooperate with local partners and visit schools, attend fairs, co-organise trainings and other activities. Sometimes the volunteer can have a role of a group leader and/or intercultural messenger. The skills and interest in communication, especially social media are an asset in this project as well as sufficient level of English, self-initiative and positive attitude towards life. Please note that we can only accept volunteer applications from EU citizens.
