Human Resources

To carry out its activities, the Association counts on the support of volunteers and paid employees.

Voluntary action happens in different forms or by different agents:

Storytellers: People with diverse backgrounds, approved in the entity's training course, who dedicate at least two hours a week to promoting communication, culture, and educational information with the children and adolescents assisted in the Association's partner hospitals.

Story Makers: People with diverse professional backgrounds who act in solidarity, donating part of their time and talents in the development of the work cells' activities.

National Students: University students who collaborate, in a solidary way, helping the Viva Association to carry out its work. In partnerships with colleges and universities, this project can offer support for Complementary Community Activity. The participating volunteers create a competitive edge in their résumés, with greater professional prospects, which are highly valued in the market. The student volunteer receives certification for the hours, depending on the type of activity and the time made available.

Training for student volunteers: The volunteers who develop work with Viva receive training and qualification courses, as well as monitoring and advice from the coordinators of the work cells; Communication, Marketing and Public Relations, Administration and Finance, and Human Development (Psychology and Pedagogy).

Student Volunteer profile

 

  • Understand the local reality in which they will operate and the possibilities for improving the conditions of the public that Viva serves;
  • Ability to listen to everyone involved and collectively assess the needs of the location, prioritizing the demands;
  • Empathy. Putting yourself in the "other person's shoes" to better understand reality;
  • Commitment to the activity to be developed, paying attention to the fact that the community-volunteer activity requires dedication and commitment.

Team Leads: The team lead is the coordinator/manager of the storytellers in the hospital to which he or she has been assigned. Represents the Association to the hospital management and to Viva's affiliates and associates. To be a team lead, the volunteer must prove to have completed, cumulatively, the storyteller and team lead training courses. Although training is required, practicing as a storyteller is not a requirement for that of a team lead.

Viva Volunteer Care Service (SCVV): the service has been available to volunteers since Viva was founded. From a bi-annual survey conducted with the support of QualiBest, Viva detected the existence of volunteers who thought of quitting the activity because of situations inherent to the love dedicated to Viva: lack of time, problems and trips related to employment and/or unemployment, emotional fragility and family health, and their own health. To strengthen the reception of its active and disconnected volunteers who wish to return to their work as storytellers or story-makers, Viva, in partnership with the Human Development team, through professionals in the psychology area, offers personalized assistance. Those interested should send their request by e-mail (voluntario@vivaedeixeviver.org.br) informing their name and telephone number, which will be contacted by one of the Association's psychologists. The service will be provided, free of charge, in up to four (04) sessions.

Effective members: Members of the Advisory and Fiscal Councils - people with diverse backgrounds, volunteers in other areas of the Association or not, who fulfill specific roles linked to Viva's bylaws: Board election, advising on the execution of projects and investments, among others.

Viva Cultural Scientific Committee: Has as its general objective three fundamental lines guided by the mission, vision, and cause of the Viva Association:
