💼 What the programme involves

Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of children? The Caritas program of the Kaunas Archdiocese, through the 'Child Welfare Institute' (VGI), is seeking enthusiastic volunteers to join our mission. Since 2016, our program has been dedicated to helping children grow up happily in family environments, supporting adoptive and guardian families, and creating a space for communication and understanding. Volunteers will be responsible for organizing games and activities for children, helping with homework, assisting in learning new subjects, teaching English or other foreign languages, and spending quality time outdoors with the children, engaging in nature activities and walks.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
