Description of the project:
ICYE (International Cultural Youth Exchange) SWISS aims to connect people from different cultures and backgrounds. Getting to know a different culture through working as a volunteer in a social or cultural institution and living with a local host family widens one's horizon and supports people's personal development while encouraging understanding and respect between different societies and cultures.
ICYE tries to achieve these goals through its cultural exchange programs:
• They send Swiss youths abroad for short (1-4 months) and long-term (6 or 12 months) voluntary services.
• They host youth from all over the world for long term exchanges (6 to 12 months).
• During their exchange programs, these young people work as volunteers in local institutions and live with a host family.
The team of ICYE Switzerland consists of 4 part time employees, 1 trainee and 1 EVS volunteer. The programs are implemented with the help of many voluntary co-workers.
What the volunteer can gain:
• Insight into all the various and interesting tasks of a non-profit organization
• deepen his/her German - English and French knowledge
• intercultural learning
• work experience in office administration
Activities for the volunteer:
• Everyday administration work
• helping to organize and participation in camps and activities for the Incoming and Outgoing

• helping with the marketing work: information evenings, workshops, stands, facebook page

Role of the EVS volunteer:
The volunteer will have the role of a trainee/intern at the ICYE office, through which both ICYE and the volunteer will benefit given the long duration (6 or 12 months) the volunteer will spend with us.

The volunteer will have the opportunity to have an insight in all the field of the organization and to have his/her own project which corresponds to her/his competencies. He/she will have the opportunity to have contacts with the co-workers of ICYE as well as with the Outgoings and Incomings.
