The EVS Volunteers will be part of the organization at full sense- they are going to support the work of the team in the different areas and activities, to be integrated with the youngsters that come to Rota Jovem and they themselves are going to be responsible for developing their own personal projects and activities. The whole team speaks good English, but we will motivate our volunteers to learn the Portuguese language and get involved with Portuguese people. Above all we wish the EVS volunteers to have a personal enriching experience and that this project suits their expectations and allows them to use their creativity and express themselves freely.

VOLUNTEER TASKS

For this project we will choose two volunteers, with different skills, but who will complement each other. They will both work individually or together. The volunteers will always receive proper support from the staff weather developing their own personal projects or with other volunteers or staff members.
In any case, the volunteers are expected to have openness to a pro-active volunteering attitude. These are the kind of activities in which the volunteers will be involved:
– Participating in the coordination and implementation of activities, in articulation with the association’s staff or with other volunteers (sport and adventure activities; cultural activities and other) – Dynamization of their own local activities ( sports activities, workshops, cinema sessions, language tandems, group discussions…) – Supporting other local volunteers in developing their own projects
– Presenting the Erasmus + Programme and other international opportunities in schools; – Supporting Rota Jovem in the communication and promotion strategy (integrating the valorisation of the project and visibility of the Erasmus +)
– Supporting in administrative work (if needed) – Documenting Rota Jovem’s activities (video, photography);
– Creating documentaries (in several fields, depending on the volunteer’s interests), video editing and promotion of the materials created;
– Writing different texts for the blog;
-Decorating the space of Rota Jovem;
– Integrating the youngsters who come to visit Rota Jovem, by introducing them the association and its work.
– Developing an own project, according to the interests of the volunteer with follow-up and evaluation.

Volunteer’s Profile

We consider that the following profile features are particularly important to the adaptation of the volunteer to this project: – Enthusiasm, motivation to participate in our specific project; – Flexibility to work with different teams and target groups and also to work on weekends (only if needed) – Willing to develop new projects in a young youth worker’s team; – Motivation to self- development and engagement in volunteering; – Motivation to learn Portuguese in order to communicate with the people who come to Rota Jovem;
-High sociability skills (in an organization like Rota Jovem, with people coming in and out, it’s important for the volunteer to adapt to all these different people and integrate them in the dynamic of the organization);
– Interest in decorating the association (exhibitions, walls decorations, disposition of furniture…)
– Interest and autonomy to develop their own personal activities with the support of the team;
– Willingness to develop workshops in areas which they like: Photoshop, dance, language tandems, theatre, team games, group discussions, sports activities…it’s up to the volunteer! We want our space to be as dynamic as possible and to correspond to the different personalities of all people involved.
– It would be very good if the volunteer has some skills in one of these areas: crafts and arts; music; dance and theatre; video editing; radio, writing small articles for the blog.
We don’t require any particular qualification however interest in developing activities for youngsters and proposing new ones is essential for the integration of the volunteer. All candidates applying will be considered in the selection process regardless of their nationality, ethnical groups, religion, sexual orientation or political opinion. We are open to volunteers with emigration background or from ethnic minorities. The selection procedure will include a specific „application form”, where the Sending Organization should give a brief presentation of the candidate. For the final selection, we’ll make phone interviews. In the end, an email will be send to selected and non-selected volunteers as well the Sending Organizations.

Working hours and Days off

The standard timetable of volunteers is from 10-17h, Volunteers have days off on Saturday and Sunday. If there’s an event during the weekend and volunteers are working in it, they can take 2 days-off to compensate.

Volunteers will be entitled to 2 holiday-days for each month of volunteering (20 days). The holidays have to be negotiated with Rota Jovem and it’s not possible to leave them all for the end of project.

Food, transport and pocket money

The volunteers receive an individual monthly allowance for their food. Each month they will get transportation and pocket money. The money is given in cash in the beginning of the month and it is the responsibility of the volunteer to manage it well.

Lodgment

Volunteers will share an apartment in the center of Lisbon with other EVS volunteers. The house is fully equipped and the location is near to metro and bus station, supermarkets, pharmacy and shops. By metro it takes 7 minutes to the city center, by walking 15 to 20 minutes. Most volunteers will share a double room.
