Doing civic service
with Volont'R
What is it?
A civic service is a mission of general interest that allows you to work in the service of the community in an association or a public organization. It's a bit like an internship, but you don't need to have a diploma or a job to do it.
A civic service lasts between 6 and 12 months. You receive a certificate at the end of your civic service.
During your civic service, you participate in the activities and daily life of your association in connection with your professional project.
Good to know: Your week will be shared between your mission (about 24 hours per week) and free French lessons adapted to your level (about 4 hours per week).
