Volunteers for Youthcare center in Germany
He/she will be involved in preparing, organizing and post processing the projects of the Youthcare.
Aside this public work there are various offers for children and
youngsters,with those the volunteer meets and later work together, e.g.
: the creative workshop, "Girls-Action and Boy-Active, in JUKUZ-Dance,
Sport in JUKUZ, and in the pupil club.. And another field of volunteer
interests - the playground, an area of 5000 square meter. A place for
children between 6-12 years old, where they can spend their time
building huts,making fire, laying pond, seeding flowerbeds,
barbecue,…Taking care of the playground can be another part of duties,
which the volunteer should experience and get known. Lots of
youth-cultural events and trips provide the volunteer an insight into
the possibilities of the Youthcare.
The volunteer will get known the whole sphere of the work there, will
be involved and he or she can chose the focus of his/ her interest so
that he/she can develop his/her own project, which can be carried out
by support of the team.
Interest in work with children and youth, basic curiosity about social
work. Willingness to work in the evening or sometimes at weekend .
The volunteer never works alone in the project. There are regular guide
conversations held between the volunteer and the project, in which the
work and insets of the volunteer are with him/her evaluated and
reflected. So that all the questions can be cleared, problems detected
and difficulties can be fixed.
The volunteer is not only involved in the project and co-work in the
team but he /she is as well integrated in a network of volunteers, who
are staying in or around Würzburg accomplishing their EVS. The
coordinator from the supporting organization offers regularly
appointments for all volunteers. This is as well the chance for
volunteers to discuss potential difficulties in the project, in
relation to culture, living, forming a living on her/his own,
homesickness and oth-ers. Because of this it may be possible to uncover
the problems quite early and to handle it before the escalation shall
come. Due to the fact that the coordinator from the supporting
or-ganization is almost every time reachable, the volunteers have the
possibility to have a con-tact person out of the project with whom they
can talk about their crisis situation, e.g. prob-lems between the
volunteer and the project; as well the talks to clear the situation can
be held.
