- Location: Rotterdam, the Netherlands
- Duration: 8 months
- Mobility period: Autumn 2019 – June 2020
DESCRIPTION
Being a volunteer doesn’t only mean contributing to the well-being of the organization, but it is at the same time a personal development. The volunteer will work at the heart of the Esperanto movement – the Central Office of the World Esperanto Association and TEJO, he or she will be able to help with many interesting projects (arranging meetings, information campaigns and the development of internet projects) and also with attending events representing TEJO.
EVS is open to all young candidates who are between 18 and 30 years old. The project limits the volunteering to a maximum period of one year, making it possible for more volunteers to have their volunteering experience with us.
The volunteer must show an interest in Esperanto and in learning it before or after his or her arrival, with the help of our staff and the resources available for free in the office. As a volunteer, you’ll certainly learn teamwork and you’ll have an opportunity to bolster your skills, especially with the after-mentioned tasks.
VOLUNTARY ACTIVITIES:
Here are examples of your future tasks:
- representation and information during congresses and seminars (directly related to Esperanto, or not)
- administration and management of contacts with European and non-European structures and organizations
- active support of the activities of TEJO’s board and working groups
- dealing with paper and online mail
- maintenance of the archives
- active collaboration in updating TEJO’s websites and social network pages
- local action in Rotterdam, maintaining relationships between local organizations and institutions
The ideal candidate:
- speaks Esperanto, or if not the case, shows an interest in learning the language before or right after the start of the volunteering
- likes administrative work
- has some computer skills
- has some knowledge about the youth Esperanto movement
- is independent and can take decisions
- is ready to collaborate with the board members on the general management of the organization
- has good knowledge of European youth structures and institutions
- has never taken part in an EVS-project before
These are the qualities of our ideal candidate and we’re aware that not everyone can fulfill them. In the time frame between the selection of the candidate and the start of the volunteering, there will be enough time to train oneself. So don’t hesitate to apply!
You can apply from now. We continuously examine the applications until we find suitable persons.
The volunteer period is for one year and the start date is subject to agreement. You will have a free place to stay and your travel expenses related to your volunteering will be reimbursed.
TEJO is looking for at least three volunteers, therefore if you want to volunteer with another person, you can apply together by specifying it in the motivational letter.
