Volunteers will share their time between organizing activities for the children and teenagers living in the center and maintaining/renovating the center's outside areas. They may also be asked to do some other little tasks, such as helping to sort clothes donated to the center.
Animation:
Half of the time, volunteers will propose and plan activities for children aged 3 to 10 who live in the center. Some examples could be: creative and artistic workshops, board games, walks, excursions, going to the swimming pool, sports and games, movies, cultural visits, …
If they wish, the center would be delighted if they also offer activities to the center's teenagers (12-18 years old). Some of the teenagers are also mothers.
They will receive the support of the center’ staff, used to work with volunteers every summer.
Outdoor maintenance:
The other half of the time, volunteers will help the technical team with much-needed weeding tasks, as well as renovating the center's volleyball court. The volleyball court is in poor condition: there are a lot of weeds and it needs to be re-delineated. Weeds are also invading the playground and flower boxes. Volunteers are therefore expected to make these places pleasant again for the residents to use.
