European Youth Volunteers – Sport, Inclusion & Community

The volunteers will join Union Plaani, a football club in Heinola, Finland, and take part in daily youth sport and community activities. Their main tasks will include assisting in football sessions for children and young people, supporting camps, tournaments and other club events, and helping to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all participants. Volunteers may also contribute to communication, international activities and youth participation. The opportunity combines practical volunteering with personal and professional learning. Volunteers will work together with coaches, staff and other volunteers and gradually take more responsibility according to their skills and interests. Coaching experience is an advantage, but previous football experience is not required. English will be the working language. Volunteers will also have opportunities to learn basic Finnish and experience Finnish culture and local community life.
