The project will be carried out in one of the homes of the organisation. Each volunteer will collaborate in one of them.

The volunteer will be integrated in the daily life of one of the homes where children aged between 0 and 18 live (they live in homes until they are 18, approximately). The entrance requirements can be diverse, and are always valued by Social Services and the Minor Institute.

VOLUNTARY ACTIVITIES
Activity time: Maximum of 35 h./week; mainly in the afternoon, though this may change depending on the needs of the project.

Volunteers may participate with other activities, such as any workshops: handicrafts, sports, specific subjects,... and participate in the yearly thematic axis of the organisation.

Every year, there is a thematic axis. Last year, we had the Jacob's Way, the River Duero, Man throughout History, Stories... We worked with cultural activities, workshops and at the end of the year we did a trip. Volunteers can participate providing ideas, preparing some culture parts (example: the Jacob's Way, what it is, its way, who participates, who participated earlier, why we do it... ) or in the workshops (handicrafts with mud, leather, recycled material...), proposing and planning trips,... all ideas they have are welcome and may be discussed with the team.

C. PROFILE OF VOLUNTEERS AND RECRUITMENT PROCESS
The volunteers will be chosen by the sending organization and the host organization, and/or the host organization. They will asset the availability and characteristics of the individual volunteers.

The volunteers will read carefully the project and the organizations will help them so that they can choose the project that best matches their interests and concerns.

On the part of the volunteers a specific focus on social themes is not necessary, but a personal attitude marked by the believe in individuals and their capacities is necessary, as well as a commitment to their activity and to collaborating in their team.
