Fight Social Isolation Volunteer

Fight social isolation thanks to intergenerational links (SouthFrance)

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

A year-long endeavor that begins in September! Join our association to be a part of this lovely chain of solidarity, just like many other young people who have come before you and had such a wonderful experience with our seniors! Assisting senior citizens who experience social isolation and loneliness will be your primary objective. How? By going to see them, getting to know them, organizing new get-togethers, assisting them with new technology, and taking part in a brand-new project from A to Z: putting together a picture exhibition that will feature their top spots in Brignoles! You will be part of a team of local volunteers of all ages. We wish to give 1 young European the remarkable and exciting experience of working inside a well-known organization where staff and volunteers work together.

TRAINING DURING THE ACTIVITY

You will benefit from dedicated trainings throughout the year (they take place in different cities in France; it is a great occasion to discover France and to meet with other volunteers of every age!). You will take part in the trainings organized by the French National Agency (‘On-arrival’ and ‘Mid-term’). Supervision and advice will be provided by experienced staff and volunteers. Conditions will be created to help you fit in well in your new environment and to get to know other young people. You will benefit from French courses
