🏠 Accommodation on site
Food:
Daily food allowance; the volunteer gets her/his food money from the Cashier of the Main Office every month on the same day. Accommodation:
The volunteer is accommodated in a rented flat with a shared bathroom and kitchen, but the volunteer has a separate room with internet access. Her/his flat is next to the Main Building
🎒 Leisure activities
Volunteers will join a one-week “Welcome to Hungary” training course in the first weeks of their project. In addition, there will be a mid term training, regular evaluation meetings and of course Hungarian language training.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profil: We focus mainly on the motivation, openness and foreign language skills of applicants. We would host a volunteer who doesn’t know exactly how to help or how to be a ’good volunteer’. The best profile for us is if somebody is interested in structural, organizational questions and wants to turn her/his ideas into action by using her/his creativity. There’s opportunity to specialize since the volunteer can work as a youth worker and also as an elderly-carer. Thus we’re waiting for an open-minded, talkative young person who wants to know a lot about social area, solidarity with local communities.
Deadline: No application deadline
