Coordinating, delegating, and managing a team of 2-5 team members in the daily operations of the Youth Programme
Directly supervising and supporting team members, providing feedback to ensure the quality of the programme remains high
Delivering effective inductions to transfer key skills/knowledge to team members

In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the shared houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the shared houses are full, this would allow us to offer an opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.
Looking for an internship?
If, because of your degree or for any other reason, you would like to have your period at Second Tree credited as an internship, just apply to the vacancy that you’re interested in and mention this. We have agreements with several universities across Europe, and in many other cases, these agreements can be developed on an ad hoc basis.
