ONE YEAR VOLUNTEERING IN YOUTH CLUBS CZECH REPUBLIC

Volunteering in our organization is about working in youth clubs. Social services and non - formal education for children and adolescents 12 - 26 years.

Volunteering in our organization is about working in youth clubs. Clubs provide social services and non - formal education for children and adolescents from 12 years to 26 years. Its goals are to help the youngsters spend their leisure time meaningfully and provide social service and support in live difficult situations. Workers are preparing leisure time programs and provide support in the difficult period of adolescence. To each of youth club come approx.110 clients per year.
It is focused mostly on youth with fewer opportunities, Romas and children on the street. It is about helping them, create and organize leisure time with meaningful activities, animation of some activities, supporting them, play with them and work on social services field. Volunteering here is also about helping with visibility in our NGO and our activities

Role of volunteers:
We are seeking volunteers who are active, creative, open- minded and motivated to work with youth and children.
Volunteers do not require previous experience with youth work or work in a non-profit organization, but the basis for us is their interest in this work. For us, it is also important, but not decisive, the usability of the volunteer in his region or in the sending organization after returning from EVS.
Volunteers require at least a basic knowledge of English, because most of our colleagues, employees, speak it. An important condition in the profile is the willingness to learn the Czech language, which will be a great advantage for volunteers in their later work with us.

The types of tasks will be as follows:
• Preparing and providing a leisure time activity for children in youth clubs in Strakonice and Blatná (together with our workers and one more volunteer)

• Support team of trainers during outdoor activities (maximum. once a month)

• Work on specific small projects of youth clubs. It means volunteers will work with our employees on proceeds activation projects for example open days in local museum, theatre, beneficial concert, presentation of work on some school and so on.

• Volunteers will help on promo and visibility of our organization – Volunteers will have an opportunity to help us with organizing and creating ideas of visibility and public relations field. We want to support effective presentation of our activities and NGO, so there are a lot of opportunities to do some changes, presentations, activities etc.

• Volunteers in their own project. We want to support concrete volunteers in creation and realization of their own projects.

• Volunteer in visibility of EVS. Volunteers will help with managing visibility of EVS and Erasmus + and NZDM. They will organize presentation and meetings.

What volunteers will learn and experience:
• Languages (develop English, start with Czech)
• Volunteer will experience work with youth, providing of social services, effect of non-formal education and experiential learning style in some activities which we are providing
• They will strengthen or learn how to work with youth, how organize things, how evaluate, how to provide reflection, how to work in team under supervision
• They develop their competencies in communication, planning-reflecting process, project’s thinking, and working on public relation field
• They will increase their awareness about Czech culture
