Kaunas L’Arche community is a small, faith-based organization of friendship and mutuality between people with intellectual disability and those who assist them. We are looking for international volunteers to assist persons with intellectual disabilities in performing daily tasks, helping them to work independently. The volunteer would assist the core members in the kitchen, helping them with gardening tasks, doing daily chores, making handicrafts, sports, games, going on trips, and participating in celebrations. You would also motivate our core members and help them discover their strengths and skills. And, according to your skills, desires, and the need of the community, we would like you to participate in the outreach and fundraising tasks by taking photos, decorating for the various festivities, etc.

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).
