📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
This is a programme for young people in a region. It consists mostly of:
- language courses provided by native speakers (yes, that means you!)
- special events: they happen once and may include a screening of your national movie, learning regional dances, painting in wood, and whatever your creativity brings :)
- meetings with travellers - that's our job :) We're preparing a special meeting with someone who visited some interesting places in the world.
- International Party - a party for foreigners in Kielce, usually in a pub or a club. Of course, Polish people are also invited :)

🏠 Accommodation on site
You will live in a flat with other volunteers. To give you some privacy you will have your own room :) You will have sheets and equipped kitchen. And to separate your work from life, you can always come to our office and use our space and equipment.
🍲 Food
Same as everything else, even the food needs a process of adaptation. But trust me, once you get used to the polish food, there is no coming back. They have great soups, specialties and desserts. Pierogi, pyzy, bigos, gołąbki, nalesniki, makowiec, pączek, piernik and maaaany many others, that at the beginning may seem crazy to you (especially some of the soups), but soon will be your new favourite food.
In Poland you can also find milk bars, where you can eat very cheap lunch, consisting mostly of Polish food. In Kielce you will find some restaurants that are also pubs. Not only you will eat a nice lunch or dinner, but you can start a party right away :)
you will get 100 EUR per month for food and 120 EUR for your own expenses. 220 EUR per month is easily enough in Poland :)
📍 About the location
Kielce lies in the heart of Świętokrzyskie Mountains (oldest mountains in Europe!) and near Świętokrzyski National Park. The centre, the famous Sienkiewicza Street, the Rynek, the Palace of Kraków Bishops, the city park and Kadzielna is something that you will explore in the first week probably, but that’s not all. City and region are full of nature, and historical places. A bit further from the centre of the city, there are a lot of
hidden wonders, and the best part about it is the fact that to most of them you can go just using the public city buses, the mini busses for the region, or just by bike. For the free weekends, you can go see Cracow or Warsaw as they're close. You can also enjoy fresh vegetables at the city market, concert in a beautiful amphitheatre of Kadzielnia or go to a miniature park where you can visit the whole world in few hours :) You
can check out the city in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDQ03WxsuxU
