Do you want to be part of an international organisation that promotes peace, solidarity, social justice, sustainable development and intercultural understanding? Do you want to gain valuable experience in the volunteering, youth and development sectors in Ireland?
VSI are welcoming applications for the ESC volunteer role of Programmes & Marketing Officer. This exciting role is funded through the European Solidarity Corps programme. We are looking for a volunteer (aged 18 to 30 and resident in Ireland) to join our team from September 2024 for a period of 9 months.
What is an ESC volunteer placement?
The European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteering programme gives young people (18-30 years old) the opportunity to volunteer either in their own country or abroad. It is an initiative of the European Union and offers an inspiring and empowering experience for those interested in making a change and benefiting communities across Europe. The programme aims to develop solidarity, intercultural understanding and respect among young people and to promote active citizenship.
The ESC role in VSI is an ‘in-country’ project, so the volunteer must be currently resident in Ireland.
A monthly allowance for living expenses will be provided plus mentoring support for the volunteer’s personal and professional development. If required, financial ‘Inclusion Support’ to enable young people with fewer opportunities to take part will also be provided – if you would like to speak with someone privately for more info about this please contact Eiméar in VSI: eimear@vsi.ie
Role Description
The volunteer will work in a supportive role with the VSI staff team - training and supervision will be provided.
