    Volunteering in Italy in residential centers for youth including unaccompanied foreign minors

    Tipology
    Description

    Location: Genova, Italy
    Project dates: 15 October 2020 – 15 October 2021 (12 months)
    Applicants: 2 EU residents aged 18-30 for the activities with children and adolescents, included unaccompanied foreign minors
    Hosting organization:  La Comunità Onlus cooperativa sociale
    The Cooperative La Comunità is a social enterprise active in Genoa in the field of educational activities to combat and prevent minors’ distress and sustain fragile families through socio educational, animation and cultural services.
    La Comunità is managing a CEA (Comunità Educativa d’Accoglienza Residenziale- Educational Residential Centres), hosting minors who are taken in by social services and temporarily separated from their natural families. In the CEA they can live, grow, study, have fun and create significant relationships with peers and educators. Activities are structured in a way to guarantee both group and autonomous spaces to the users.
    La Comunità has recently opened up a residential centre for unaccompanied foreign minors called “Tuin - Il giardino”, where 16 minors are living and developing their personal projects. Here you can download the infopack with more information.
    To apply please send your CV, motivation letter and this questionnaire filled in in English.

    Tasks

    • Recreational activities for children and adolescents such as games, and workshops: the volunteers will support the educators in the preparation and realization of weekly workshops about different topics (music, kitchen, art…) and they will propose group games and recreational activities for the youngsters.
    • School and language support for children and adolescents
    • Overall support to children, adolescents and staff members in the daily activities such as pedagogical support, short trips and visits, sport activities, taking care of the common spaces and sharing meals

    Volunteer Profile

    The ideal volunteer is autonomous, mature and responsible, open to share and meet other people and, above all, motivated to join our activities. Volunteer should be aware of its extremely important role in the centre and available to cooperate to the educative and training process of La Comunità. Since this involves a delicate role in contact with young people that often come from complex family situations, the volunteer must be fitted with qualities such as tolerance, patience, firmness, creativity, and above all excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
