About the local hosting organization

Our organization, the Youth Affairs of Pori city Education Office, is a local public body and organizes the youth work services provided by the city. Our staff consists of 16 full time youth workers with addition of 1-2 project workers depending on ongoing projects. Our leading idea in Youth affairs: Through youth work and by affecting the living conditions of young people we support their coping skills and social empowerment to create requirements for a good life. We implement this idea by striving to offer young people (13-29 -year-olds) in Pori the equal chance to plan and take part in free time activities in a safe environment with guidance and support from professional youth workers and safe adults. Our main activities are open youth house activities in six different youth houses, specialized youth work (for youth with difficulties in life management), online youth work, school youth work, youth participation and international youth work. These activities include small group activities, a variety of freetime events, individual guidance, camps and street patrolling.

Presentation of the program

This project aims to foster a positive international atmosphere in all the activities provided by youth services in the city of Pori. We want our volunteers, youth workers, and youngsters to develop an interest in pressing matters like climate change and inclusion while enjoying their time participating in free time activities and workshops. The main tasks will take place either at open youth houses or youth workshops. These working methods are specific and explained further on our website, so read carefully. TO APPLY FOR THIS PROJECT, you must apply in two steps. Apply through this site AND fill in our own google forms application, where you need to upload your cv and motivational video. VIDEO IS MANDATORY. FOR MORE INFORMATION AND APPLICATION FROM HERE --> www.pori.fi/esc

About the accommodation

Our two volunteers will share an apartment 2,5km from the city center. Bedrooms are separate but there is a shared kitchen, living room and bathroom. Hosting organization will help buy the travel tickets and necessary documents like visa if needed. Volunteers will get an access card for the local public bus transportation when needed to get to work and a Finnish mobile phone number with internet connection. Volunteers will receive 510€/month, this includes pocket money and money for food. Keep in mind that prices in Finland are high.

About the leisure

Two trainings are organized by Finnish National Agency and meant to support you during the volunteering period, enable you to create friendships and travel more here in Finland. The on-arrival training is usually within couple of months of arrival. Mid-Term training usually is mid-way project.

There might be other trainings volunteers are included as part of the youth services work community.

Extra information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).

  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
