The project "SAPSK? Youth information service" forms part of the socio-cultural activities and programmes of CAE for youth. It consists in an information point and several information and awareness campaigns and activities for youth. These activities are carried out in schools, youth premises and backgrounds. Two people are involved in the project, a youth information agent and the person responsible for youth projects.

The EVS volunteers will participate in this working team and take part in the preparation and execution of the different activities of the service, as detailed under these lines. In no case will the volunteers assume team responsibilities. Tasks of volunteers:
