EVS Call for volunteers

We are looking for volunteers to be involved in all the activities we organize in our school.
Our centre is specially interested in working with children and young people in different fields such as education, culture, art and sports These are the main motivations of most European young people.
We would like to participate in the welcome plan and also to count on the experience of the European Voluntary Service (European Solidarity Corps). It would bring us the possibility of coming into contact with different cultures and working interculturality and all the aspects related to the volunteer’s home country. Our motivation is to participate in EVS, sharing experiences, establishing links with people from other countries and enriching the intercultural promotion and the exchange of knowledge between participants.
Thereby, we present ourselves as coordinating and welcoming entity and, as such, we will provide the volunteer with safe living and working conditions during his or her stay. The volunteer will be also accompanied by a group of qualified professionals who will help him or her to incorporate to a new culture. The volunteer will have direct specialized support. The volunteer will have all the personal and language support that he or she could need.
