The minimum commitment for coordinators is 12 months. It will be considered on a case to case basis if a coordinator cannot commit for a full year. You will sleep in a shared dorm for the first month and receive a single room after that.
If you come directly as a coordinator the ideal will be to have 1 month of handover, during this month you will receive 130€ and 180€ for the next 5 months. If you don’t have a handover month, it will be 180€ from the first month.
1st MONTH WITH HANDOVER: 130€
2 - 6 MONTH: 180€
7 - 12 MONTH: 210€
13 - 18 MONTH: 240€
19+ MONTH: 270€
