Thank you for all interested!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Maailmanvaihto \u2013 ICYE Finland is organizing a camp for ICYE volunteers <strong>on 7\u201310 May 2026 at Mets\u00e4pirtti Camp Center in Tuusula.<\/strong> At the camp, outgoing from Finland volunteers will prepare for their upcoming experiences, while international volunteers currently spending their volunteer year in Finland will evaluate their period abroad and prepare to return home.<\/p>\n<p>We are now looking for enthusiastic members to join the kitchen team. The camp team prepares daily meals for the participants. As a team member, you will get to meet volunteers from around the world and see how the camp is built and run. We expect a total of around 30\u201335 participants and team members to attend the camp.<\/p>\n<p>The camp kitchen team (3\u20134 persons) works under the guidance of the head of kitchen. The head of kitchen will inform team members about practical matters, and we aim to organize a planning and orientation meeting for kitchen team members before the camp. There will be bus transportation to the camp from Helsinki. Working in the kitchen team is a voluntary activity, and a certificate can be provided upon request.<\/p>\n<p>We are looking for committed individuals who share <a href=\"https:\/\/maailmanvaihto.fi\/en\/maailmanvaihto-icye-finland\/operating-principles\/\">the values and principles<\/a> of Maailmanvaihto. Our values are global responsibility, intercultural learning, and equality. Important principles in our work include care and inclusivity, reliability and responsibility, and openness.<\/p>\n<p>Kitchen team members only need basic cooking skills \u2013 no special culinary expertise is required. Most importantly, you should be responsible and motivated to cook for a large group over several days. Communication within the camp kitchen team will be in English.<\/p>\n<p>The camp follows <a href=\"https:\/\/maailmanvaihto.fi\/en\/guidelines-for-safer-spaces\/\">Maailmanvaihto\u2019s Safer Space Guidelines.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>How to Apply<\/h3>\n<p>Send us a free-form application explaining that you are applying for the kitchen team and why you are interested in participating in the camp.
