What’s the offer?
Our sister city Lille in France, in partnership with the French association Lille Avenirs would like to recruit two young people from Leeds, aged 18-25, who have English as their first language and a good knowledge of French to take part in their international civic service volunteering programme.
The successful applicants will work in three primary schools (one per term) with additional time in youth centres and social centres during the holiday periods.
The offer is intended to reinforce the longstanding twinning relationship between the cities of Lille (France) and Leeds, as well as to support English language learning and intercultural activity in Lille.
How long does the programme last?
You would be in Lille for nine months, from September 2023 to July 2024
What are the volunteers paid?
The volunteers will receive a monthly allowance of €601 (about £525) for a 25-hour week, as well as accommodation, food and local transport.
The project sponsors will also cover transport costs from Leeds to Lille for one return trip.
