About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our center was founded in order to help fulfill the needs of children with disabilities and their families. We provide social services to children between the ages of 7 and 18, embracing a wide spectrum of abilities and needs - from mental and physical disabilities to complex developmental challenges. We stand by the side of families, offering support that transcends the ordinary. Together, we explore sports, create art, and tackle everyday tasks, nurturing growth and learning. As a part of our team, you'll be at the forefront of this incredible journey. Picture yourself in the midst of outdoor adventures, sharing in the daily routines, and most importantly, infusing the center with fresh, innovative ideas. Join us in this exhilarating mission - where every day brings new opportunities and every child's triumph is a cause for celebration. Apply to the project if you wish to empower children with disabilities and improve their livelihood.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Join us on a journey that celebrates the extraordinary in the everyday. We're seeking individuals who are not just volunteers, but creative, well-organized, and compassionate champions for children with disabilities. Expect to dive headfirst into the wonderfully unpredictable world of childhood, embracing creativity and open-mindedness. In the midst of all the laughter and play, you'll also become a role model, setting an inspiring example for our kids. With an open heart and open mind, you'll craft personal bonds and friendships that will last a lifetime.

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).
