In Mexico, my host country, and in all other countries, be sent to the German volunteers to partner committees take care of families or other living situations for us volunteers. The ICJA is a EXCHANGE organization - like many German volunteers in other countries to make their voluntary service are also many international volunteers for a year in Germany. In Germany, we need host families to ensure that the exchange program does not become a one-way street and only German Volunteers can, gather experience abroad. ; ; be
family - why?
means to be a host family, a family member to take "on time" with him. It means opening a young Menschenaus door to another country and the heart. You have the opportunity to keep closely to deal with another culture and thus Germany with different eyes to sehen.Oft arise so friendly for life.
his host family - can I?
The idea for a whole year to a son or a daughter "on time" in the family to have may initially be quite unusual. But was the experience of many previous host families that the greatest difficulty of the decision itself, take a young person.
ICJA seize the term "family" wide. Thus, together with families, single people, childless couples, group homes, etc. offer a Volunteer a home. It is not necessary that (still) living children at home. You must also not always at home. There is no requirement that you have a huge house. The volunteers come from other countries, where sometimes even the bed is shared. A bed, an open heart and ear and interest in other people is enough! It is also important that all family members agree to take someone.
Who are the Volunteers?
The volunteers are between 18 and 28 years old. Some come from poor, some from richer conditions. You have completed a school, some have been able to collect Arbeitserfharung. The volunteers do not come as an au pair or tourists / tourists to Germany. During their stay, they do voluntary work and live with a host family or directly in the project. Thus, they gain a deeper insight into another culture.
What about the like financial side?
An exchange of young people is not more expensive than your own child, for clothing, expenses for travel, school trips and many other things are not the host parents responsible. The natural parents and are generally for ICJA all major spending responsibilities. Health and accident insurance are the young people to a sufficient extent. There is also a liability insurance to avoid every possible risk.
How will I be supported by ICJA?
A personal monitoring during the exchange year is one of them. All volunteers who come to Germany, were selected by ICYE Committee (Committee partners in each country) of their home country and prepared for the exchange year. The host family will be prepared by ICJA. In a personal interview, we discuss your expectations and our resolve and any uncertainties. During the exchange year is the ICJA a personal tutor / supervisor with a personal exchange of experience. He / she helps you with problems and questions and will remain in constant contact. The volunteers have a personal caregiver.
If you are interested and / or want to host a volunteer: If you have
desire to include a volunteer with you or want to inform you first, then writes me and I put you in touch with the ICJA. You can also contact your dirket the ICJA .
