Description:
Mladinski EPI center Piran (part of Športni in mladinski center Piran) is a youth center, established by the municipality of Piran in 2001. The center operates in two locations in the Slovenian coast – in Piran and in Lucija. The youth center aims to provide young people living or going to school in the Municipality of Piran with the following:
– a safe place where they can spend their free time
– organized extracurricular activities (theater, language clubs, arts etc.)
– support and guidance
– help with homework and studying
– international youth exchanges
– volunteering opportunities
They are looking for a volunteer to fill in the role of youth worker and social media manager. The tasks are:
– posting on our social media
– taking photos and videos
– writing blogs and articles
– creating campaigns
– promoting digital literacy
– awareness of risks and opportunities
Participants Profile
We are looking for volunteers who are willing:
– to be flexible – work in a youth center can be unpredictable, new kids come, new projects arise … and we need to be able to adapt to the changing circumstances
– to be open to learn and curious – you don’t need to know everything, you just need to be open to learn new things and don’t be afraid to ask questions when you don’t know how to do something
– to be proactive, take initiative – we like people that observe the situation and see what needs to be done and do it and don’t be afraid to propose new activities and implement them, make fist step in talking to kids and youth (they won’t)
– to be patient – working with kids and youth is sometimes very challenging and it can happen that things don’t always go as planned. Also working on the coast means that everything is slow and takes time
– understand the importance of connecting trough talking and playing with kids and youth – it’s important to first get to know who you work with to create an trusting bond
