About the local hosting organization

Caritas Vlaanderen covers the Flemish dioceses of Belgium and belongs to the worldwide Caritas network of Caritas Internationalis of the Roman Catholic Church. Caritas Vlaanderen is a social non-profit organization, rooted in Christian tradition, that focuses on poverty reduction, supporting people in vulnerable situations, promoting (qualitative) voluntary engagement and pastoral and spiritual care in the field of health and well-being. We are actively contributing to a warmer society which is based on love for all human beings, especially for people in vulnerable situations and poverty, where everyone can exploit their rights and where everyone gets a chance to participate in all one’s freedom and responsibility. We attain our goals by informing and sensitizing the greater public, calling for solidarity and just societies, advocating for more human policies and supporting specific projects in the field. We accompany people in vulnerable situations to find answers to their needs. We support other health care and welfare providers and organisations through our funding programme or by providing tools and training sessions to help them increase their impact. We sensitize youth groups by facilitating social summer camps with other Caritas organisations worldwide. Through our advocacy team, we also try to weigh on policies and decision making processes that affect people in vulnerable situations. In Belgium, Caritas Vlaanderen not only connects local Caritas organisations, but also collaborates with an ever wider network of humanitarian or welfare organisations and action groups on the field, in the Church and the Christian community as in the wider society.

Presentation of the program

Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of children? Do you want to be part of meaningful projects that provide educational opportunities to the most vulnerable? Join Caritas Vlaanderen and help us bring learning and joy to the children of traveling families! About the projects Caritas Vlaanderen provides a "reference address" for +-300 travelers in Belgium for accessing official services. Due to their nomadic lifestyle, many children from these communities have no access to education. That is where you come in! Our "Spelcaravan" and "Family Following" projects offer educational and fun activities for children. These activities take place on private and passing terrains across Belgium. As a volunteer, you will prepare and organize activities in French (reading, writing,...), math, and other subjects, playfully helping children develop essential skills. Since volunteers go to the families' homes, you will move around regularly in Belgium.

What do we offer? - Accommodation: Private room in a shared apartment in Brussels. - Financial support: Pocket money and food allowance provided at the beginning of each month. - Transport: All travel expenses related to volunteering will be reimbursed.

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport

Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
