Tasks for volunteers

The Federazione del Volontariato di Verona ONLUS

is a coordinating organism for the volunteering
associations of the Veronese territory. The
Federation represents more than 400 non-profit
associations, which work on different thematic
areas and offers them technical and professional
support to develop their skills and expertises in
order to meet their needs.
Since its foundation, the association's main objective
has been promoting volunteering and the culture
of solidarity amongst youngsters, informing them
about the different volunteering possibilities in the
territory, both locally and at European level.

Volunteers will help some of the associations

represented by our Federation to implement their
Communication strategies. The tasks may include:
Implement the presence of the associations in
social networks: Facebook, Twitter, blogs
Creation of promotional material: videos, flyers,
brochures,
Storytelling.
The volunteers will be based at the Federations
office but sometimes they may be asked to move to
the offices/events of the associations represented
by our Federation (always in the Veronese territory).

The project
Under the name: Raccontare il volontariato, this
project aims to implement the Communication
strategy of the associations represented by our
Federation. The associations make a precious
contribution to the local community in different fields
but sometimes the society doesnt know too much
about all this work. We would like to give visibility
to all these volunteering activities carried out in our
territory. For that purpose, the use of social media
and other communication tools such as storytelling,
videos, brochures... is extremely important.

Volunteers profile
Volunteers should be between 17 and 30 years old
and be willing to implement the Communication
strategy of several associations that work on
different topics (disability, immigration, elderly
people...). Flexibility, creativity, communicative
skills and motivation are the main qualities we
look for in the volunteers. Given the purpose of
the project, knowledge/experience in the use of
social networks and video/image software (i.e.
Photoshop, Premire) will be an important asset.

Accommodation, food & pocket money

Single/double room in a shared flat with other
volunteers.
The volunteers will have a kitchen at their disposal.
They will buy their own supplies and cook by
themselves. At the end of each week the volunteer
will have to give the supermarket receipts to the
project manager in order to be reimbursed (food
allowance: around 200/month)
Pocket money: 115/month

Holidays
Volunteers will work from Monday to Friday
(occasionally they may be requested to work on
Saturday/Sunday, in that case they will get an extra
day off in exchange). They will work 35 hours per
week and they will have two days of holidays per
month (that is 20 days of holidays for the whole
period of 10 months).
