Popis ESC dobrovolnických pozic:
Hosting organisation: Mladinski EPI Center Piran:
Mladinski EPI center Piran (part of Športni in mladinski center Piran) is a youth center, established by the municipality of Piran in 2001. The center operates in two locations in the slovenian coast – in Piran and in Lucija.
The youth center aims to provide young people living or going to school in the Municipality of Piran with the following:
- a safe place where they can spend their free time organized extracurricular activities (theater, language clubs, arts etc.)
- support and guidance
- help with homework and studying
- international youth exchanges
- volunteering opportunities
Both youth centers are open from Monday to Friday in the afternoon (except on public holidays). During the summer (and other school holidays), we organize activities for children aged 6 to 10 years old in the form of a «day camp».
The youth that we usually work with are between 9 and 19 years old, but with different activities and projects we try to involve all young people up to the age of 29. The staff consists of 5 youth workers and some volunteers.
We are looking for new volunteers to join us in 2025:
We are looking for 3 volunteers to work as youth workers in our youth center – Mladinski EPI center Piran.

- Talk and play with kids and youth
- Run different free time, creative, educational workshops
- Promote ESC program in local high school and universities
- Help with events (concerts, youth exchanges, public municipal events)
- Assist in summer day care for younger children of primary schools
- Help with sport activities, cooking events or book club
- Teach board games
- Writing short articles or testimonials
- Have an additional role (social media manager, escape room assistant or language ambassador)

1 opening for the position of Escape Room Assistant:

- make props
- lead educational escape
- rooms workshops at local elementary and high schools
1 opening for the position of Language Ambassador:

What you’ll gain:
- improve your English and learn basic Slovenian
- work on your communication skills, by talking with kids and youth, making presentations, leading workshops …
- digital skills by creating various graphics
- living and working with people from different backgrounds will help you
- improve group work, problem solving skills …
- creativity
What we expect from our volunteers:
- to be flexible – work in a youth center can be unpredictable, new kids come, new projects arise … and we need to be able to adapt to the changing circumstances,
- to be open to learn and curious – you don’t need to know everything, you just need to be open to learn new things and don’t be afraid to ask questions when you don’t know how to do something,
- to be proactive, take initiative – we like people that observe the situation and see what needs to be done and do it and don’t be afraid to propose new activities and implement them, make fist step in talking to kids and youth (they won’t),
- to be patient – working with kids and youth is sometimes very challenging and it can happen that things don’t always go as planned. Also working on the coast means that everything is slow and takes time
- understand the importance of connecting trough talking and playing with kids and youth – it’s important to first get to know who you work with to create an trusting bond
Schedule:
Working days will be from Monday to Friday, for 6 to 7 hours per day, depending on the program of the youth center (max 35 hour per week). Normally between 10 am and 8 pm. In the summer usually between 9 am and 4 pm. Evenings and weekends will mostly be free, unless there is a special event.
Days off and vacations:
You get 2 days off every month, meaning you have 24 days off if you stay for 12 months. Out of this 24 days, you need to use 10 days in summer, when our youth center is closed for 2 weeks.
Apartment:
You will be living in an apartment close to work, that you will share with other volunteers like yourself. There are two bedrooms (one single room and one to share), one bathroom, one toilet, one kitchen, balcony and living room.
Finance:
We will cover for your travel to Slovenia and back, depending on the distance and is based on Erasmus+ financial regulations for the travel costs of mobility activities. You will receive a monthly bus transport card and 7 €/day for food and 5 €/day of pocket money. All volunteers also get Henner health insurance.
