📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The social care center "Vija" is a budgetary institution, that provides social care for disabled children and young people, left without parental care or lacking the basic skills to live independently. The volunteer would aim to create a comfortable and safe home-like environment for children and adults, seeking to protect the rights and interests of our clients. You would also aid in developing our client's ability to take care of themselves and help our clients integrate successfully into society.

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
