📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Welcome to "Kaunas Old Town Children's Day Center". Our mission is to fulfill the fundamental needs of children and families, rallying the power of our community and a team of dedicated professionals. We provide after-school employment, psychological and social care services for children with difficulties, and support to their families. At our center, after-school hours are transformed into a playground of creativity and learning. We are looking for dedicated and responsible volunteers to spend time with the children, help them with their school work, play with them, and to help out our staff with organizing activities and events. We offer the volunteer an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact while working with children in need of support and friendship.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will receive a private room in a shared flat with other international volunteers. We will also cover public transportation costs in the city. Volunteers also receive monthly food and pocket money.

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).
