Don Bosco Youth-Net is looking for a volunteer to support the ‘Summer Exchange of Animators’-project. The volunteer would start the voluntary service in January or February 2017. The voluntary service would last between 8 and 12 months. The volunteer will help with the preparation of actions which support the summer exchange (training course, publications …). The volunteer will have the chance to be active on at least one summer exchange itself. The volunteer will help with developing communication and promotion tools to increase the visibility of the summer exchange of animators.  For more information on the summer exchange of animators: www.summerexchangeofanimators.eu
 
The EVS project offers a unique opportunity to live in another European country and work for an international youth organisation. Apart from learning on-the-job, EVS includes different training activities for the volunteer. The volunteer will take part in the EVS training cycle: on-arrival training, midterm evaluation and final evaluation. The volunteer will also have the opportunity to learn Dutch and take part additional relevant trainings in support of the EVS.
 
DBYN aims to apply for the voluntary service the 1st of October 2016. In order to do so, we would like to plan the interviews with candidates before the 20th of September 2016. If you are interested please send an email, together with a motivation and curriculum vitae to [email protected].

​The deadline for applications is the 1st of September 2016.

The European Voluntary Service programme is being used by many of DBYN's member organisations. Several of our member organisations are sending or receiving EVS volunteers individually or in group. Next this are some of our members and our trainers active in the EVS training cycle. We also noticed that the numbers of EVS volunteers is reducing in our network. Apart from this our members which are not based in EU member states cannot apply themselves directly for EVS.  Therefore we decided to apply for an EVS accreditation for DBYN as ENGYO.  

With this accreditation we can act as sending and coordinating organisation for those of our member organisations which do not have the capacity for  this. At the same time DBYN will be able to host EVS volunteers in its international secretariat. In such an EVS the volunteer would be involved in the project management of our international activities, getting an on-the-job experience what it is to run an international network. If you are interested in this, don't hesitate to contact us !
