Volunteer profile:
The volunteer needs to have interest in working with young children and participating in the routine work of a preschool/kindergarten. An interest in environmental education and sustainable development would be beneficial since we have a special interest in these. An interest to learn some Finnish is important since both Finnish and English are used in the interaction with the children. In addition, flexibility and motivation to live in a host family and to interact with the family members is essential. We are looking for a volunteer from a EU member state or a Partner Country of the ESC.
