We provide a supervisor, who will be responsible for the coordination and the administration of the program; the mentor is responsible for settling down the volunteers and helps to find theirs own feet, and an EVS coordinator, who keeps in touch with the Sending organisation on a regular basisThe project implementers possess the relevant professional background, including the most important fields such as drug-prevention, child and young protection, social work practices. The EVS coordinator has significant experience in building national and international relations, network.
