Carers wanted for youth camps
The district of Waldeck-Frankenberg is once again offering training as a supervisor this year; registration is possible until 17 January 2024. This basic pedagogical training qualifies those interested in independently leading, accompanying and supervising camps with children and young people. After successfully completing the training, graduates will be scheduled to work at the district's youth camps.
Those who are interested are given the opportunity to check in a practical way whether a job as a caregiver suits them. "Pupils, trainees, students, but also professionals are represented among our supervisors. Their commitment makes the camps exciting and eventful. We are happy that every year new potential supervisors show interest in the voluntary work," says Ines Normann from the youth promotion of the Waldeck-Frankenberg district.
One carer reports: "In addition to teaching important content and preparing for the assignment as a carer, the training is like a class reunion. You can catch up with carers who have now also become friends and you have the opportunity to get to know new people."
The carers receive an expense allowance, reimbursement of travel expenses and free board and lodging during their free time. The work can be recognised as an internship. Time off for voluntary work in youth work is possible. The training for supervisors will take place from 26 - 28 January 2024 and from 3 - 5 May 2024. A further date will be determined individually by the leisure teams.
Registrations are accepted by the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg, Youth Development Department, by email at ines.normann@lkwafkb.de or by phone on 05631 954-1493. They can also provide further information on the training and work of carers.
