1:1 supervision for our vacation trip for persons with autism

We are looking for motivated volunteers for a 1:1 care on our vacation trips!

Every year we go to the beautiful Kinderbauerngut in Langenstriegis, Central Saxony (see link below). An old farm, free-range pigs, a stream running through the grounds, goats, hammocks and much more. This is the ideal place to offer our clients (mainly teenagers although people of all age groups do participate) a relaxing vacation and their families a nice relief. We offer a colorful program with various volunteer vacation activities on site.

To ensure our clientele a nice vacation, we are looking for volunteers for 1:1 care. Waiting for you, besides a lot of fun, are some unique exciting experiences, insights into the very diverse autism spectrum, lots of nice people, professional development and a certificate of participation. Each vacation trip is led by 2 main staff members of the Autism Center.

Just contact us personally to learn even more about us and our vacation trip 

To the Kinderbauerngut Langenstriegis: https://www.kinderbauerngut.de/

You will accompany your participant so that they can have a nice and relaxing vacation. For this purpose, you will take part in all activities in which they also participate. In the evening, you will exchange ideas with the other volunteers in a cozy round. 

Depending on the needs, it may be necessary for you to perform nursing activities. But don't worry: We will discuss with you beforehand how much you are able to do!

What you should bring with you: 

• Interest in the autism spectrum
• Willingness to meet the individual needs of your participant
• Willingness to to put your own needs on hold if necessary.
• Enjoy working in a team
• psychological resilience
• Bring in your hobbies and talents at our trip :)

This, you do not necessarily need to bring: 

• Knowledge in the field of autism (We train you before the trip!)
• A training in the social field

Our vacation trips: 

17.07. - 23.07.2023  as well  24.07. - 30.07.2023

It is best to tell us directly in which of the two trips you like to participate.

In addition, there are 3 more dates: 

1x autism-specific training (depending on COVID location in Leipzig or online)

1x pre-meeting of your vacation trip (depending on COVID location in Leipzig or online)

1x individual first meeting with your/your participant

We have been going to Langenstriegis for many years and every time even our main volunteers come back with new, exciting insights about the Autism Center! 

It is very important for us to mention that you are not on your own: you help each other in the volunteer team. If you are not confident in something, you need a break or you need help with something else, the leadership team is always available for you on the vacation trip.
