Posted under:
Do you want to travel aboard? Going on a gap year but fed up with companies that make you pay to Volunteer? Do you want to make a difference and Volunteer Against Poverty Well this is for you….
The IFM – SEI are about to submit a really exciting EVS (European Voluntary Service) project called Volunteers Against Poverty (VAP) involving countries in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. They plan to send 16 volunteers to sister organisations in other parts of the world from January 2012 to August or December 2012 (8 to 12 months). It will pay for everything apart from 10% of your travel to the country. They will even give you pocket money when you get out there! (wow… …how great is that!)
They have placements from Colombia to Indonesia, in every content there are IFM-SEI groups that want you. During your time you will be working in a local organisation. You could be working with street children offering them education which they are otherwise denied or working on anti-HIV/AIDS education projects.
They”re looking for two or three volunteers from Woodcraft Folk – you need to be between 18 and 30 (sorry – those are the rules of the European Commission) and able to commit for at least 8 months, no specific skills are needed, just enthusiasm and energy to try something new.
You will volunteer in your host organisation working with children’s groups as well as taking part in an exciting global project with the other volunteers making a documentary on child and youth poverty.
This is a really unique opportunity – for more information you can find profiles about every organisation that you could be placed with here.
The deadline for applications is 20th May so please move fast!
If you are interested (and you should be!) contact us now. All you need to do is write us a short email or letter telling us where you would be interested in going and what you would like to do and why and include your CV. We will try our best to find you a place.
