Vær med til at arbejde med unge i Paraguay

Dette projekt tilbydes i samarbejde med AFS i Paraguay og nedenfor kan du læse deres beskrivelse af programmet:

You will volunteer in a non profit public organization that has been working for 20 years with youth (15 to 28 years old) from unprivileged conditions, helping them to organize groups that are capable of creating big changes in their communities and improve quality of life in their cities.

You will share your experiences, help preparing forums, debates, workshops and new proposals for public policies for the youth.

The organization requires volunteers to be able to communicate with all actors involved, therefore an intermediate Spanish knowledge is required.

About this type of community service project: 

When you choose a community service project abroad, you commit yourself to truly getting to know the culture of the country where you are going. A large part of your day will be spent working at your placement, but you will also have time to explore your surroundings, connect with locals, and gain a deeper sense of their values and way of living.

AFS cooperates with a wide network of schools, kindergartens, NGOs, and community projects around the world. In some destinations, this means there are many different possible placements, and the description you see on our website is just one example of what your project might look like. In other destinations, we work with a specific local partner organization (for example, a particular NGO or community initiative), and in those cases, the placement will be more clearly defined.

We are happy to receive your preferences, but we can also help you find the right match if you are not quite sure which type of work or location would suit you best.

Your host family will become one of your closest connections during your stay. They may include you in family traditions, meals, or local outings, but you should also expect to take part in the daily household, just like any other family member. Every host family is unique, and you can look forward to experiencing a way of life that may be very different from your own.

In addition to your host family, you will have a local contact person who will support you with practical questions, cultural advice, and any challenges that may arise.

On this program, you should expect to be surrounded by locals – in your host family, at your placement, and through your community. Depending on the destination, you may also meet other international volunteers, but placements are usually spread out to ensure deep integration into the local culture.
