📆 15.9.2025–15.6.2026 (9 months)
Lehtimäki Special Folk High School is a boarding school for youth and adults with disabilities situated in Western Finland in the small village of Lehtimäki in Alajärvi, located about 60 km away from the city of Seinäjoki.
The school offers rehabilitation courses, such as riding therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy, and some training aimed at increasing the occupational capacities of the students.
As a volunteer at Lehtimäki, you will interact with students during their lessons and leisure time and support them in their daily activities. You’ll also assist the kitchen staff and work at the stables one day per week.
The EU grant will cover, among other things, reasonable travel costs to Finland, accommodation, daily meals, and insurance.
Due to the tight schedule, this position is for a candidate that doesn’t need a residence permit to Finland (nationals of an EU member state, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland)
