📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The purpose of this project is to help the workers of Crisis Center, which is a place for victims of domestic violence (mostly woman and children). Sizeable part of the duty is to help mothers and their children with everyday duties, and activities.
We expect volunteers to animate Center's inhabitant's free time in ways such as;
Walking with the kids, display of Ukrainian culture, learning the local language along with learning English.
But most importantly there is an opportunity for exploring Center's inhabitant’s hobbies and talents along with volunteer's.
There will be hours of conversations, regarding the importance of self-respect, responsibility, love acknowledgement, and human rights.
Note that Crisis Center is inhabited mostly by women and children with terrible life experience - that makes everyday conversations a matter of utmost value.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation- our volunteers will be accommodated in rented apartment with own bedroom, fully equipped kitchen and Wi-Fi. The apartment will be in close proximity to shops, supermarkets, pharmacies etc. and located either within walking distance from the activity or easily accessed with public transport-buses.
Transport- volunteers will be provided with monthly bus pass. Koszalin is well-connected with major Polish cities by rail and is just 12 kms away from Baltic seaside- bus service runs regularly from Koszalin main station all year.
Food- volunteers will receive monthly food allowance.
🎒 Leisure activities
Main training during this opportunity is social one - voluntary will experience plethora of life stories, along with search for solutions. This will most probably include using voluntary artistic and social skills to provide children with meaningful time and education.
Training will also consist of knowledge about volunteer network in Poland, and every volunteer will receive a mentor.
When program finishes - voluntary will be given documents confirming one’s participation.
During the practice voluntary will be working (along with coordinator) to execute Youthpass and Europass requirements.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profil: Everyone is welcome.
Obviously person most suited for this opportunity would be someone open for relationship, and keen to work with women and children.
Be wary that inhabitants of Crisis Center often require psychological help not only be the means of therapy, but also casual everyday treatment with care and respect, so it's for the best for them if you will be able to treat them nicely.
Supporting organizations are preferred to be from non-governmental sector engaged in charity work, albeit it's not a must.
