My pathway to a volunteering experience

Sobre

Welcome to your pathway to a volunteering experience!
This learning playlist consists of a range of activities which aim to lead you step by step to the volunteering opportunity of your dreams!
﻿The value of international youth-work: In the first opportunity you can discover the value of youth work. A volunteering service is closely related to the topic and therefore it´s useful to know about it. 
﻿Volunteering experience: What is that? In the second activity you can explore what a volunteering experience is if you don´t know yet. We especially want to introduce you to the European Solidarity Corps, which is funded by the European Commission. 
﻿Is it the right track? In the third activity you get the opportunity to check yourself. Is a volunteering experience the right track for you? 
﻿Find your perfect match! The fourth activity helps you to find the perfect match: the volunteering experience of your dreams!
﻿Tips and tricks to your application: In the fifth activity we offer you tips and tricks to a hopefully successful application. 
﻿My application: You are ready to apply? Earn a badge doing so in the sixth activity!
﻿My successful participation: And finally it´s time to tell your own story of your volunteering experience in the last activity! 
﻿
This playlist is created by Cities of Learning, an international network of youth organizations. We want to encourage people to use the many opportunities that are out there.

Sobre

Going for a volunteering service, is it really something for me?You are thinking about doing a voluntary service? You are not sure, whether you are on the right track with this idea? We have a small self check-up in this activity. 
﻿
In the previous activity you were able to explore what a volunteering experience is about, to whom it is targeted and what the general concept of it is. Surely there are also formal criteria, such as the minimum age and country of residence.
﻿
But more important is: 
Do you identify yourself in this?
Picture yourself during a volunteering service. What will you experience? What are you going to learn and how will you grow? What are your expectations? 
﻿
Do the self check-up! 
Take the survey down below to check if your imagination coincides with reality! 
This test might answer some of your questions as well. But don´t worry. No matter how you answer the questions, in the end you alone know what´s best for you!

The next activities in this playlist will help you to learn where and how you can apply for a volunteering service.
