Application conditions and requirements for volunteering:
We are looking for a volunteer who is interested in communication and information work (especially social media and video communication) and would like to know more about international volunteer work and working in an NGO. Fluent English skills are useful, and in case the volunteer already knows some Finnish, these language skills are useful, too. We expect that the participant takes their own initiative, is eager to learn and use their skills and brings forward new ideas. We also expect responsibility, organizational skills, as well as good teamwork, communication and cooperation skills.
