The Children's Village is a youth welfare institution who cares for
children and youngsters as legal guardian. The target group of the
Children's Village are children and young people in a state of social
need, who cannot live in their original family and are therefore sheltered
in the Chidren's Village by the youth welfare. Due to the children's
socialization conditions which are unfavourable to the development of the
personality they are disadvantaged in many fields, such as personal
development, integration in the school, ability to take part in group
activities etc.
Around 40 children from 7-18 years coming from different provinces live in
the Children's Village. The staff consists of professionals such as for
example psychologists, teachers, social workers, youth workers, etc.

The Children's Village is located 5km out of Graz. 11ha ground with a wood
and many sports facilities are part of the Children's Viallge: swimming
pool, football ground, volley ball ground, playground, artificial lawn for
playing small-scale football or basketball etc. The Children's Village is
surrounded by some detached houses. The nearest public transport is 2
minutes away.
The volunteer will live in a shared flat in Graz and take the public
transport to go to the project. The working hours of the volunteer will
mainly be in the afternoon.

The project is aimed to be a group EVS, 3 volunteers from different
countries will be hosted.
Tasks
• Support the daily activities of children together with the educators:
educational support (accompaniment to school, homework help), support the
maintenance of the environments (collaboration in organizing the home and
help during lunch and dinner time). • Organization and development of
leisure activities: entertainment, games, sports, music sessions, visits
to museums, etc. (all the creative ideas of the volunteers are greatly
appreciated). The role of the volunteer mostly consists of introducing the
intercultural aspect in the daily life of the children and young people.
To a certain extent we also want him/her to act as a role model to open up
a scenario for the future which transcends the borders of the
municipality, of the well-known "comfort zone". The volunteer could take a
supporting role in developing new perspectives for the future for the
children/youngsters. The volunteer will bring new aspects into our daily
life by contributing a foreign language (his/her mother's tongue) and
his/her personal intercultural background, which will enrich the lives of
the children and young people.
Criteria

Basic requirement is the will of caring out activities with and for
youngsters with a difficult family background. Volunteers should have an
easy approach to children and young people and prove that they have
neither fears nor prejudices in taking care of disadvantaged people. Due
to the particular situation of the Children's Village, where in general
the young people cared for have economical, social and cultural problems,
we are looking for a mature, responsible and tolerant volunteer.
Volunteers who like to organise sportive and creative activities are
highly welcome. Due to the target group in the Children's Village we
prefer volunteers over 20 years. Please send your application/CV and
SPECIFIC motivation letter until 19th of September 2011 to
christine.gantner@logo.at.
