The association organizes promotional initiatives (in schools and local fairs) of its activities and the opportunities for young people, as for example the National Volunteer Service and EVS. The volunteer will present EVS, his help is fundamental for anyone who wants to take part in this experience.
The association has been involved in the creation of A.P.G. Riviera and Miranese Youth Policies Committee and it collaborates with local authorities and associations. Volunteers are involved in a very developed local network so that they have the opportunity to know the social reality in which they operate and at the same time they bring their personal store of knowledge and the cultural baggage of their country.
According to their curiosity and will volunteers can propose their own activities coordinating them with other operators and specific projects. Some volunteers proposed for example artistic workshops for the youngest members of the associations or parties to present the Nation.
The volunteer is always supported by the operators of the association with the aim to reach personal autonomy so that when going back to his country he can take advantage of the acquired competences.
The possibility to host people from different countries and therefore with different culture and habits is very important for our association because it represents a cultural exchange.
Volunteers will be involved in two trainings, a linguistic and a specific one for the project.
The volunteer is employed for a maximum of 30 hours for week. Timetables are planned week by week according to the activities. Specific need wil be discussed with the tutor.
All the activities are thought to help the volunteer to improve his competences and acquire new ones. At the same time it is an occasion of formal and informal learning.
Considering activities specified and according to European Commision key competences, used for Youthpass compilation, the volunteers have the possibilities to acquire the following competences:
-"learning to learn" (during the service the volunteer is stimulated to develop new learning through formal and informal learning occasions). Interpersonal, intercultural and social competences (through relationship with guests and memnbers of the association, and the exchange of his cultural background) Civic competences (the contact with a different culture and with associations of other European countries consolidates the awareness of being European citizens). "Enterprise" (the volunteer is spurred to propose activities according to his interests or personal actitudes)."Cultural expression" (since lack of italian language knowledge creative comptetences will help volunteers to find different means of communication. Personal competences and abilities are useful to organize activities). "Mother tongue and foreign language communication" (volunteer learns a new language through daily dialogue with foreign people and language courses. Furthermore he is asked to speak in his mother tongue with whom is studying it (linguistic Tandem). "Mathematic competences" (supporting administrative tasks in the association management)."scientific competences" (personal knowledge can be broadened by courses and practice). "computer competences" (volunteer can use the association pc and other instruments).
We are looking for a volunteer who is flexible and adapts himself to the different situation he can be involved in.
He has to be aware of living and working with people suffering of personal problematics.
Selection will be by cv and letter of introduction later the volunteer and sending organization will be directly contacted by email.
Thanks to its experience with people in need and according to its aims, the association can host disadvantaged EVS volunteers.
Professional competences of operators will help volunteers to carry out the service successsfully and according to their abilities.
Unfortunately the association center cannot host volunteers suffering of motor disability because there is no lift to the first floor where there are the bedrooms and toilet.
It is therefore necessary that the volunteer is able to climb stairs independently.

The association center and volunteers bedrooms complie with Italian safety measures, safe workplace is assured.
In the center the presence of operators and/or volunteers is assured all the day long and they can be always contacted by Evs volunteers
There will be a tutor for the organization of activities and as reference for any necessity.
Constant presence of association members makes volunteers feel in a safe atmosphere.
The association collaborates with many youth local organizations, therefore volunteers get in touch with many young people of the same age.
"Familiar atmosphere" of the community keeps volunteer in positive relationship
