What?

I have the opportunity to do a full-time 6 months volunteering to support youth in Turkey and achieve various humanitary actions.

It would be my second volunteering with the association, the Turkish Red-Crescent. We succeed in achieving a first EVS (European Voluntary Service) project of 6 months from Mars to September 2015 so we would like to start again a new one. My first project was supported by the Erasmus + program and partly thanks to my savings. But today I need your help for the second project.

My future activities will focuse on the turkish youth who have some financial difficulties or a disability. We will achieve actions togther in order to help them reching their objectives. With the Red-Crescent, we will train them and give them knowledge about interncultural learning, support them in their career project, inform them about european opportunities, voluntary programs,...They don't have access to those information so they need us. We want to help them developping themselves and reaching their full potential. We also want to sensitize them about humanitay actions.

I already have awareness about the turkish youth, their doubts, their problems and their needs. We developped a relationship of trust and I want to pursue my coaching and support with them by going further. As I am graduated in Human Resources, my dream is to create on day my own NGO to help youth to find their way, define their education, find opportunities abroad, define their career plan, coach them for job research (...) so this project is a big step also for me to reach my goal in the future.

I wish I can get the support I need to realize this project!

Why?

Turkey is a country with a high potential, full of young people. They have the ooportunity to join european programs and european youth can also participate to projects / study in Turkey. Unfortunately, those various program are not well-known in Turkey that could boost their employability in the future and open their mind. Their education system is not yet internationally oriented.

My role will be to listen oung poeple, develop their potential, train them on various topic, enhance them to apply to european programs. My Human Resources and Trainer background will allow me to succeed in my missions.
