We are looking for 10 new ESC volunteers to support us for 9 months
In the May 2021-February 2022 period we, the Youth Association from Transylvania, will host 10 volunteers from the EU for 9 months, in the small town of Cristuru Secuiesc, Romania, through an already approved European Solidarity Corps project. The candidates have the choice to be active in 8 different areas: support person for entities working with disabled youth (1), for kindergartens (2), for herbalists (3), for the www.keresztur.info news portal (4) and for the host organization (5), manager of up-cycling education (6) and puppet show group (7) and as promoter of rural traditions (8).
We are looking for any youth aged 18 to 30 who is serious and motivated to come to a small city and support us in the development of a community with a lot of potential. We do not require volunteers to have any pre-determined skill sets or aptitudes to carry out the activity, only an inquisitive demeanour and an openness to learn new things which may be needed for the activity. Also, we do not require participants to have advanced or intermediate English-speaking skills, we only require them to have a basic skill in English and an openness to learn the local language to effectively communicate with the local community. Finally, we are looking for energetic, creative open minded and independent youth.
Each volunteer will receive 150 € as food allowance and 90 € as pocket money each month. Everything else, including house rental costs, gas, electricity, water and internet costs, appliances and activity related costs will be managed by the hosting organization. International travel is also reimbursed. Volunteers will do their activities in a flexible way, for about 6-7 hours/day and 5 days every week. Two days are free every week and 2 other days are holidays every month. Beside these all regional and national free days and holidays are also considered free for the volunteers.
For anyone wishing to join us as an ESC volunteer, we will firstly require a CV and a motivation letter. We encourage candidates to be creative with their applications, to include anything that might reveal their individuality, their likes, dislikes and potential skill sets. These can be sent to us at office.ata@gmail.com. Also, we require candidates to fill this https://forms.gle/MB8VHQHs4j63R6aM7 short application form. In the questionnaire it is extremely important to choose a primary and secondary activity.
DEADLINE TO APPLY is January 30. 2021. But we will start processing and selecting in order of application, so as soon as you apply, the more chances you have. Upon receipt of applications, the board of the NGO will decide whether the presented profile is appropriate for our activities. In light of this decision we will either refuse candidates or move on to a Skype interview to evaluate motivation and personality in a direct and oral environment. After the interview, the board will take a decision and inform the candidates.
