ESV in Tallinn Youth Work Centre, Tallinn
Tallinn Youth Work Centre (TYWC) is the umbrella organisation that organises regional youth work in Tallinn through its departments – Youth Centres and Tallinn Youth Information Centre. TYWC was officially established in 2003 and is currently coordinating the work of seven youth centres, a youth information centre and a youth counselling centre.
We are looking for 3 volunteers for different youth centres in Tallinn:
- Järve Youth Centre (specialised on multimedia)
- Kopli Youth Centre (specialised on music and art)
- Männiku Youth Centre (specialised on art) and Youth Information Centre
The main role of EVS volunteer will be a supporting team-member. Which
means that the volunteer will be a colleauge who's job is to help in any
activities needed, and also to lead activities brought up by the
volunteer hims/herself. Basically the biggest value stands on the
enrichment process where both partners (volunteer-host organisation) can
learn from each other and can share some experience.
The involvment is based on the volunteer´s ability being responsible for
different activities - studios, clubs, meetings, gatherings, events,
projects. He/she can be responsible for an activity/project or can be in
the role as a co-ordinator or a participant. Tasks and activities of
the volunteer must vary depending on his/her skills and interests.
Main tasks will be working with young people directly in the "open" area
in the youth centre which needs a concreate communication with them
(playing some games, listen the music, chatting, helping with homework
etc). There is also a large variety of studios and clubs (theater, film,
photo, dance, art, music) where the volunteer can take part as a
co-leader or the main leader him/herself. The project work in the TYWC
needs a concrete action plan which will be worked out together with the
colleagues in the youth centre. If the volunteer has his/hers own ideas
for the project (local or international), then all is possible, because
TYWC deals with many kind of projects (international youth exchanges,
training courses, evs, local theme days, concerts etc).
