🏢 About the local organisation

The non-governmental organization "Actio Catholica Patria" (A.C. Patria) is active in Kaunas since 1991 and offers social and cultural services for young people aged from 14 to 30 years. We consult and provide training to other organizations and individuals about volunteering and open youth work. Our main aim is to support young people in becoming responsible, self-confident, socially sensitive and active citizens. We strive to contribute to the development of the concept and the condition of volunteering in Lithuania; to provide social services to young people; to provide information, consultation and training to individuals and legal entities; and to help youngsters to integrate into the labor market. We work towards these aims in our four centers: The Volunteer Center, the Open Youth Center "Vartai", the Youth Empowerment Center "Kitaip" and the Methodical Center. The employees of A.C. Patria, are constantly improving/enriching activities to ensure the quality of services provided. We aim at being pro-active in the search of new forms of work using different methods in order to meet the social needs of youth of different age groups and correspond to the changes in our society.

This organisation is willing to involve volunteers who face situations which make their participation in activities more difficult, from the following categories for different types of project:

Educational difficulties
Geographical obstacles
Social obstacles

💼 What the programme involves

The Kaunas Municipal Vincas Kudirka Public Library, established in 1925, is a cornerstone of cultural and educational life in Kaunas, Lithuania's second-largest city. As one of the oldest municipal public libraries in the country, it has a rich history of serving the community. Our library, which now includes five functional departments and 20 branch libraries across the city, is dedicated to promoting literacy, lifelong learning, and cultural engagement. We serve a diverse target group, including students, researchers, local residents, and visitors of all ages. Our values are rooted in accessibility, inclusivity, and community enrichment. We strive to create an open and welcoming environment where everyone can access a wealth of information, participate in cultural events, and engage in educational opportunities.

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).
