We are looking for volunteers aged between 18 and 25 who already have experience working in similar centres and are close to the sales mode of operation and Don Bosco's preventive educational system.
Volunteers will be involved in all projects in the programs of our centre, and we will want them to carry out a project that will enrich the operation of our centre, while giving them the opportunity to develop their competencies.
We are looking for volunteers for the period between September 1, 2022 and August 31, 2023.
All those interested, please send a CV including your previous experience(s) and a motivation letter stating the reasons for working in the young centre, information on their expectations at work and information on the latest contribution to work in the young centre.
