KIDS IN THE CITY 2 | EST DTAL2 | 2026-07-25 - 2026-08-22 | KIDS | Age: 20 - 35

This project is organized for international teenagers by the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite (ALPS) on the basis of The Language School In Down-Town as part of their annual activities on multicultural issues for youth. Teenagers from several countries arrive to participate in the intercultural camp where day activities are integrated with local children, while evening free-time activities are held separately and of an optional nature. There is a group of international volunteers who facilitate day activities. Both international teenagers and volunteers are accommodated in the school premises. Thus, the main aim of this work camp is to provide a technical support like household chores and campus patrol, and to ensure a smooth and safe environment at school during the evening hours like pastoral and welfare support and communication for a group of 20-24 international teenagers of 14 to 17 years old.

Work: The load of work is split into the Morning and Afternoon shifts for 2 volunteers. There are no working hours but a list of tasks or operations, which are expected to be completed timely, meaning that the key time points for being at the campus logically come from the purpose of the working task according to the camp schedule. The same is about the days-off. There are days that are completely or partially free days with no or few tasks to do, other days may be more intensive involving long stay-in working days. The working tasks throughout the week fall into two main categories, such as household chores (including some simple cooking) and pastoral and welfare support (including urgent night patrol and access to the building). Thus, the volunteer will mainly do some of these: supervise meals and all kinds of sanitary routine, manage behaviour and adherence to policies as well as daily routine and order in bedrooms or facilities supervise campus health and safety orientation, manage evening activity and/or leisure programme, communicate with parents. The work requires high level of responsibility.

Accomodation and food: The premises of The Language School In Down-Town locate on the 4th and 5th floors of a business building in the city centre. In summer time, a part of the school is reserved for the volunteers accommodation that includes several separate dormitory bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, a small dining area, a large shower area and two separate toilet cabins. Bed linen, towels, pillows and blankets will be provided, so you do NOT need to bring a sleeping bag unless you want so. For the reasons of security, volunteers will be issued only one set of keys. To facilitate a smooth and safe environment at school during the off-hours, the entrance to the school must be kept closed at all times. Catering will be organized by the school on an agreement with the volunteers (selection of times, meals - provided or volunteers cook, etc.).
