Olá

Role and tasks of the volunteer

The EVS volunteer’s role will be to provide additional support to staff of the organization, working closely with qualified staff who will provide support and supervision at all time. This provides the opportunity to the EVS volunteers to share their own culture within their projects and with the local community. This will bring a new, international dimension which will benefit everyone.
