  Descrição

  Our mission is to support highly sensitive young adults by providing them with rehabilitation opportunities in a nurturing environment. We aim to transform the world into a healthier, more interconnected place by fostering personal growth and environmental responsibility. As we expand our facilities to accommodate more individuals in need of support and rehabilitation, we seek volunteers to assist with various construction and development tasks.
  
  About us
  We are a Dutch foundation also based in Gran Canaria, surrounded by stunning nature. Our team comprises four transformative leaders from the Netherlands with backgrounds in healthcare, psychology, coaching, and organizational management. Now based in Gran Canaria, we collaborate with other foundations and individual consciousness advocates to drive meaningful change. Our diverse team combines professional expertise and a shared commitment to holistic, sustainable development.
  
  Barranco Clean Upcycling Project
  Starting in September, we are looking for volunteers to join our Barranco Clean Upcycling project. Our goal is to clean the Barranco of Fataga, removing waste and plastic all the way to the sea. In collaboration with Dutch environmental artist Maria Koijck, we will transform the collected waste into a powerful art statement to raise environmental awareness. This project is not just about cleaning up the environment; it is about making a lasting impact on our planet and demonstrating the potential of collective action through art and community engagement.
  
  Volunteer opportunity
  We aim to gather at least 20 young adults from across Europe to work on this project, promoting sustainability and inclusivity. This initiative is a core activity of Traject VEERkracht and the Rise like a Phoenix program of Stichting. Volunteers can join us from the end of August, with accommodation provided.
  
  Why Join Us?
  Joining us means contributing to innovative projects for European young adults. You will rediscover yourself in a powerful natural environment while engaging in sustainability activities, including soil nurturing, cleanup initiatives, and waste transformation into art. You will work with a diverse team of professionals from mental health, healthcare management, and other sectors. Being part of our community means participating in the pioneering Rise like a Phoenix and our campaign.
  
  Additional Volunteer Roles
  We are also looking for volunteers to help with social media management, DIY projects (repurposing old items into something new), garden work, construction tasks, supporting mentally overburdened youth from the Netherlands and Europe, and Spanish language development. We need assistance with our ongoing expansion and for supporting the incoming groups starting in February 2025.
  
  Our Lifestyle
  We maintain a vegetarian lifestyle and only cook vegetarian meals.
  
  Call to Action
  We welcome passionate volunteers from diverse backgrounds. Whether you're a social media expert, skilled at DIY projects, a sustainability researcher, a nature enthusiast, or linguistically talented, anyone dedicated to transformation is welcome.
  
  Join us in shaping a brighter tomorrow and making a tangible impact on the environment. Transform the world by starting with yourself. Together, let's clean up the Barranco and create a sustainable future.

  Building towards a transformative shift and an innovative methodology for European young adults for mental recovery and increased resilience. Educational Work Experience at the foundation
  
  We aim to make an impact not only on the young adults we guide but also on the participants who invest their time and energy in our organization. Here's how participants can learn, grow, and enrich their lives by engaging in our mission:
  
  Participants have the opportunity to delve deep into circularity and natural awareness practices. Whether it's organizing environmentally conscious events like the Rise Like A Phoenix campaign, participating in ecological projects, or promoting sustainable living, you are contributing to an environment that fosters environmental consciousness and mental well-being.
  
  By being involved in administrative tasks and organizational processes, participants gain valuable practical experience in the daily operations of a non-profit organization. They learn more about self-awareness, sustainable planning, coordination, and international communication in a responsible and professional manner.
  
  Our project connects participants with new age developments and with diverse communities and cultures, providing a unique opportunity to develop intercultural communication skills, increase understanding, and cultivate empathy.
  
  Participants are encouraged to explore their creative self-expression, whether in art, music, theater, or other forms of creativity. This contributes to personal growth and talent development.
  
  Participants are encouraged to get to know themselves better through self-reflection. This process of awareness contributes to personal development, growth in self-awareness and self-confidence, and taking responsibility for their own growth.
  
  From organizational to sustainability skills, participants acquire new skills that will serve them throughout their lives. Interaction with diverse communities not only increases cultural understanding but also appreciation for diversity.
  
  Contributing to a new era, positive transformation, and promoting sustainability brings a deep sense of satisfaction and meaningful work.

We aim to raise awareness and offer educational programs to inspire personal growth and consciousness.
  
  While our foundation is continuously evolving, our organization is determined, innovative, and promising. As pioneers forging a new path, we are constantly evolving and growing.

Fluency in Spanish is required for communication on the island. There are also opportunities for construction and working with natural and waste materials to prepare for the Rise like a Phoenix project, contributing to a cleaner world, promoting biodiversity, and keeping land and sea plastic-free. If you're a social media expert, website builder, Spanish-Dutch bilingual communicator, nature enthusiast, or a transformer of this new era, consider joining us temporarily as we shape a healthy and hopeful future for young people.
