Medium Term Projects in Austria, France, Italy, Japan, South korea, Turkey and United States
Concordia
This vacancy is no longer live on Season Workers, here are some similar vacancies to this one that are currently live:
Concordia offers a Medium Term Volunteer (MTV) programme.
MTV projects usually last between 1 and 6 months (occasionally projects are available for up to 12 months, depending on experience) and take place with some of our partner organisations in Austria, France, Italy, Japan, South korea, Turkey and United States.
MTV projects tend to be individual rather than group based. They respond to a need for organisations to have a volunteer present for a longer period than the traditional two to four week project.
MTV projects aim to support the development of local communities and to provide a non-formal intercultural learning experience for young people. For volunteers it is an opportunity to get to know a country and community in more depth and to make a more sustained commitment to a particular project.
Project types
The types of project available vary widely depending on country and host organisation. However, they can generally be split into two main categories.
Project placements
These projects are hosted by local community-based organisations. Projects could involve:
* conservation
* renovation
* archaeology
* construction
* the arts
* working with children or people with special needs
* teaching
The projects take place throughout the year and last for 1 to 12 months. You will usually be placed either individually or with one or two other volunteers, although there may be some involvement with international volunteer groups during the course of the placement.
Project details will be published on our website www.concordia-iye.org.uk as soon as we receive them and can also be made available in paper copy if necessary.
Length of projects
Project placements will vary between 1 and 12 months depending on the needs of the host organisation.
