Volunteers will work as an assistant to an AGSA employee in a specific field of work, and each will have his/her own working place in a shared office. In the practical work one volunteer will develop our website and design flyers and reports etc. The other will be mainly involved in organising and carrying out the many events for young people, such as information events, training courses, youth meetings, and exhanges etc. This can also create new possibilities to take part in our international work and to lead youngsters to take part in youth exchanges, volunteer work or youth education. In their work the volunteers will share the experiences with six other volunteers, started from October 1st 2010…

General tasks of the volunteer

The project "living and learning in the One-World House" is a long-term opportunity to participate in the design and content of our youth projects and to explore diverse fields of activity. If the volunteers so desires, they may also take part in further education offers, such as workshops, seminars or trainings offered by AGSA, its members or partners. When deciding on the volunteer’s activities, their requests and interests are a central consideration.

EVS volunteers will work in the international youth work section, and will have several areas of responsibility; each will also be responsible for developing and carrying out a personal project.

At the same time the volunteers will improve their knowledge of German and their language skills, which will be useful for their future career opportunities. During the year the volunteers are expected to develop an independent manner and to carry out a personal project.

The accommodation for the volunteers is a shared community-flat, shared with European or national volunteers from ours and others organisation but also with students. The volunteers will have their own room and they will share the kitchen and bath room.
