Educational Events Assistant

Youth For Understanding is looking for a dedicated European Solidarity Corps volunteer to join us in the Global Office in Brussels for 8 and a half months!

The volunteer in this project will have the chance to enhance their organizational skills by supporting our educational activities as well as learn about long-term Intercultural Youth Exchanges worldwide, by being involved in the multiple actions related to the organization of such experiences. Moreover, the volunteer will improve their communication skills by promoting and raising awareness for YFU’s activities and impact.

This experience will offer the selected volunteer the chance to get an insight into how a Global NGO operates and more specifically, into the project cycle of educational events and trainings, from the logistics & preparation to running the event and follow-up, including reimbursements and reporting. Since a lot of educational activities and courses moved to digital platforms, it is also a chance to get to know better the online events’ production side. The selected volunteer will have the opportunity to work also with other departments of the organization, if deemed necessary, expanding their knowledge of different fields according to their professional interests.

Lastly, they will support the office to organize and promote its biggest international event, the Youth Empowerment Seminar, (YES), to YFU students on exchange in Europe in the 2024-2025 program year. 

Starting date: Preferably, you should be relocating to Brussels and ready to start during the month of October 2024.

The deadline for sending your application is 7th of June 2024.

If you think you’ve got what it takes to support with these tasks and look forward to getting a comprehensive learning experience in an NGO in Brussels, send us your CV and Motivation letter at volunteers@yfu.world, putting APPLICATION_ESC_EDUCATIONAL EVENTS ASSISTANT in the subject line.
