The volunteer, between 18 and 30 years of age, needs first to put himself in motion towards the meeting of differences, with a “spirit” of adventure and of solidarity and with a preferential option to “dedicate” himself to the less privileged persons in our society, to be willing to leave for a minimum period (6 months at least), to be open himself to "move on"….
Moreover, it is appropriate that he acts, within the project of the family like project of l’Arche Bruxelles, for and with persons with learning disabilities in liaison with the professionals, which implies a capacity to take responsibilities, initiatives but supposes also desire to cooperate in the team life and requires a certain personal balance.
The place that we want to give to the volunteer is not to take a vacant job to be supplemented within a team. Each volunteer takes part in shared life by his presence and by concrete and specific tasks as mentioned above, not only the volunteer but every person should stimulate exchanges between all parts concerned by this project. We wish to give to the volunteers that we welcome a crucial
place: not necessarily a function and tasks modeled on the role of the professionals of our association, but a possibility to face situations which allow them to give and to receive, to question, to be challenged, to offer situations which allow them to be themselves in existing and new projects, sometimes a volunteer can’t avoid the feeling and heaviness of repetitive activities but only this routine can lead to creativity.
